clipboard firewall

The security feature I cannot find in X11 or Wayland is the ability to put a clipboard fire firewall between local windows and any browser.

It's just too easy to accidentally paste into a browser, or risk a browser grabbing clipboard content.

I imagine this could be implemented by grouping windows, and group has it's own clipboard, with the ability to pass between clipboards requiring an extra manual step (other than just a click).

I once read, some years ago, some of the Wayland specs and this seemed to be something they were thinking of but it is not there on the Wayland over X11 hybrid Ubuntu system I am using now.
