### Right Click Protection

Add right-click protection to images to prevent them from being downloaded easily.

Note: Right-click protection is not an effective way to fully protect your photos. It may deter casual users but can be circumvented by more tech-savvy individuals. Consider it as a deterrent rather than a foolproof solution.
