Privacy Browser Android

Some downloads from some websites doesn't show the download links on their page & it's visible only while I download it.
In this case, there's no way to get the download link into the clipboard or share it with other application.

Under the Privacy Browser's download mechanism, provide Share option in the pool of Cancel & Save buttons too. So that we get the liberty to access the android's share interface with the download link.

Currently, the way I do this, is to hold the download link from text box of Save URL dialog & then there's share option in text edit tools.

This is very inefficient way. Because when the links are too big (that cross the screen real estate), they need to be holded multiple times inorder to get the text edit tools prompt.

Oh you understood that way ? Not in the context menu. I meant in the Save URL page. The page just before you start saving / downloading files.
There are currently 2 options "Cancel" & "Save". Just suggesting you could add "Share" too, so that the link goes through android's native share interface, instead of downloading it.

What would be the advantage to this that can't be accomplished by simply copy and pasting the URL?

#note-3.

Doulbe-tap on the link and it will select the whole thing. That is a standard Android behavior.

As you can see my screen capture from #note-11, I did try double tapping multiple times & I literally run stock AOSP.

Here, holding works. But the screenshots you showed, had smaller URLs. Test with larger URLs. Like how I tried to download a stream from Invidious. In this case, the URLs overflow from the screen real estate and you're going to have problems spawning text toolbox popup.

Btw it does work but I have to hold multiple times here. I often share these links numerous times to my local player to stream them. It's like 20 to 30 times a day when I listen to podcasts & audio clips.

Once look into #note-4 screen capture & lemme know what I was doing wrong ?

I would recommend that you submit a bug report to treble and ask them to fix standard Android double tapping to select all text.

Sure. But wouldn't it be viable to provide sharing of the link in the dialog ? I know it becomes a duplicate.
Due to the open source nature of AOSP, many other forks & clones tend to modify these behaviours. Even though I'm on AOSP it's still very ineffective to hold these lengthy links repetitively each time.

I even remember using phhusson's AOSP he even provides pure stock android without any change. This even happened on that too. I think double tapping is only Pixel Exclusive.

You have a point. Will definitely file this issue to the Treble.
Btw, regarding not implementing something it's already supported by native android, you already did that with "Share URL" in main menu Share option. We don't need this because one can easily hold URL in address bar & get the share from textbox tools too.
Same goes to "Open with Browser" caz it's there in text toolbar. There's a reason you've provided all these as a built-in feature.

Neither of those entries do the same thing as sharing from the URL bar. Open with Browser displays a significantly different interface than the general share option, and Share URL shares additional information, so that if you share to an email program it will populate both the subject and the body of the email.

As such, I don't think either of those examples is really a good fit for what we are discussing here.

As a general recommendation, please try to do a bit more research before you post in one of these feature requests. I spend so much time responding to your comments that it is diminishing the amount of time I can spend programming future versions of Privacy Browser. It would be better if you spent a bit more time before you post to make sure that what you say will be truly helpful.

Absolutely. #1174 & #1175 were just to enhance the features that were already existed. And don't request anything new or try to address any bugs.
Will not open any tickets of least concern & let you work on bigger bugs/features.
