When a website blocks you from right-clicking, hold down the SHIFT key and right-click again. Works in Firefox and Google Chrome.

And when a website blocks you from copying an image or some text, remember, it's just a website: right-click and choose "Inspect", which opens the source code at the place where you clicked. Then right-click there to copy the "outer HTML" and paste it into a text file, then copy the bits you wanted. Alternatively, open the developer tools, go to the "Network" tab, reload the page, and see all elements – text, images, scripts (there are filters above the table, use them) – load. Mouse over to see them, right-click to copy them.

I switched from using Firefox to Google Chrome and it's been painful. On my Pixel device Bitwarden never works as seamlessly as it did on Firefox. It's ironic since I switched browsers for compatibility.
