I noticed that the clipboard API is no longer working in Observable notebooks. Try it here: Copier / Mike Bostock | Observable
I’m using Chrome 93.0.4577.82 on macOS 11.6.
It looks like if Observable adds a clipboard-read; clipboard-write;
to the allow property of the output iframes, that would fix it.
