Answer 1

See the documentation for clipboardData, specifically the section that reads:

There are no standards that apply here.

You are using proprietary Microsoft gubbins, so it shouldn't be expected to work on other browsers.

See this question for cross-browser techniques to access the clipboard.

There is a draft of a standard for accessing the clipboard but I'm not aware of any implementations of it in the wild (and canIuse doesn't know of any either).
