App summary

Adds a "Copy Link to Clipboard" option to the browser selection menu and the share menu. After choosing "Copy Link to Clipboard", the URL will be copied to the clipboard and briefly displayed without leaving your previous app.

This app is ideal for those who want to see what is behind a link without visiting the URL or leaving current app.

Two use cases:

1. When I read a mail in the Gmail app, I want to know whether the link is real. It is very easy to show "http://example.com" while pointing a mail to "http://evil.com".

2. Viewing websites in Incognito mode. There is no way to directly open the browser in private browsing mode, so an app that offers a way to copy the link target is the best I can do.

The app only starts when launched by the user. After copying the link to the clipboard and showing it in a notification, the app quits. The app does nothing else (there is not even a launcher icon; the app only appears in "Open with browser" and "Share link" menus).

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗗. The smallest in size, and will always be. Been using this for years now. Very straightforward. Still works in Android 11. Edit: Works great in Android 13 😍

Didn't do the one thing I downloaded it to do, which was to add the share link option back to Google play.

Does exactly what it says on the tin! The system menu didn't allow me to set this app to default manually, so I loaded up a YouTube video, clicked a link inside it, chose "open in browser" and selected this app, then clicked "use every time". Works great! This it's a BASIC FEATURE, that is, for unknown reasons, only sometimes available in a context menu, but now can be used everywhere a link is involved! Thank you for giving this control back to me!
