Side note, why does this link above go through Google?

Android browser share button doesn't copy the URL as shown. It prefixes the title to the clipboard content to help hide (behind "too long text") that it secretly, unprompted, uses the share.google link shortener / tracking service.

I got bit by it within the last week. Fuck that feature.

I think it used to have a way to actually copy the URL, but most mobile browsers are making that harder for a variety of reasons.

I recommend Firefox for Android, share works normally, and you can install extensions. I have one for ad blocking and one to keep YouTube running even when I minimize the browser or lock the screen.
