Samsung Internet and Iceraven (probably Firefox, Mull, etc. as well) both disable screenshots in their private modes by default. Thankfully, you can disable this functionality in their settings.

Oh I didn't know you could disable it in Firefox!!! Dope
Well I don't want to accidentally screenshot the porn I'm watching.
you can bypass this with a rootkit
i think they do it for security reasons. if you can take screenshots of sensitive data, so can malware. however, you should be able to disable it for netflix for example.

Yes, it's simple, if you don't want me to screenshot your software then don't display it on my screen.

You can bypass this crap, but you'll need to root your phone to achieve that.
Afterwards you'll need to install magisk (superuser app) and a bunch of plugins: play integrity fix and playcurl_next (to simulate that your phone is unrooted), and then FlagSecurePatcher (which is the actual module that's overriding the screenshot block.
I don't have much to add other than my agreement. They've been tightening the noose around our necks little by little for years now. But don't worry, screenshots and copying and pasting text will return...as a microsubscription! /s

Man, my banking app recently switched to a different keyboard. One that doesn't allow integrations like bitwarden. I also cannot copy paste my password into the password field so I have to enter my 32 character password by hand.
Mind you, this is not an app that does ANY banking in the first place it is just to authorize access to my bank account or for transactions.
So it is always a few minutes copying the password, making sure I haven't miss-typed on the shitty keyboard or because of my sausage fingers and then being logged out of my bank account in the browser because it took so much time copying that password.
