Taking a screenshot on your phone is far easier than finding where Share is in your current browser. Sharing is a mess.

Right-click being disabled in apps is one reason. Right-clicking being kinda hard to do on mobile is another. Also, oftentimes now a link directly copied from Google links to an Amp page on Google dotcom. And even web pages try to disable right clicking.

I hate it. Most apps don’t need to be apps. An actual regular website is so great. And if you can, just a static page is the best as far as accessibility and usability and linkability…

Also, the link will usually contain a bunch of tracking info which at best, makes it an annoyingly long mess, and at worst, makes it unclickable in whatever app the other person is using because it miss detects where the end of the link is.

I've in the past used chrome and Firefox on mobile and Share has never been a mess
