Safari's copy-text-from-image feature manages the entire base64 part of the string, except for the first character (I instead of a T). Weirdly, it gets much worse performance if you try to copy the entire string, including the hashbang part.

I wonder what it's doing under the hood to get such good performance?

Didn't know Safari had this.

Looked it up, you put mouse over text, then just select and copy it - very cool!
