I believe this is actually a browser extension that requires a Mac/Windows application be installed via command line to work:

Why does this extension need an additional component to be installed?... For security reasons browsers do not allow extensions from reading clipboard content unless there is a user action involved. This is rational behavior to protect users from malicious extensions. However for this extension to operate it needs to monitor your clipboard.

Also explains:

It can be equally used if your browser is always open.

very unusual arrangement. I suppose it could work for someone but I don't see the benefit of this personally.

What is Clipboard History Manager?

A full-featured desktop clipboard manager for your operating system to track what you copy & paste A powerful clipboard manager with a searchable database that can store hundreds of items without any performance drawbacks. This extension has a very simple native component written in c++ that monitors clipboard changes system-wide and notifies the extension about the changes. This way first the extension can monitor clipboard without polling (continuous check with fixed interval) and second it can get notified even if clipboard content is changed by a process out of your browser environment.

Notes:

  1. Each clipboard content can be up to 1Mbytes in size
  2. Each item is being indexed, so it can be searched later. The searching system is very powerful that supports wildcard matching and search operators like "OR" and "AND"
  3. Each clipboard entry can be pinned to prevent auto clean-up module from removing it if the total number of clipboards reach 1000 items.
  4. To search among pinned items append "keyword:pinned" to your search query
  5. To move an entry from the UI to the clipboard, press the Enter key or double-click on the entry.
  6. At this point, the extension does not support the automatic insertion of the clipboard content (the c++ component does not support it at this moment)
  7. The c++ component is compiled with https://travis-ci.org/lunu-bounir/clipboard-helper
  8. This extension is meant to replace the need to use native clipboard managers
  9. At this point, only Windows and Mac operating systems are supported. If you can help with Linux port, please open a GitHub bug report
  10. The extension supports query stemming in 20 languages.
