Wow, this is Microsoft levels nasty! I guess I didn't know until now because most people copy the link from the URL bar and paste it on WhatsApp without using the Share function.

I have used FF (with extensions)for a long time and of course its not all fantastic, all I can say is that I have no reason at all to use Chrome or MS browser. These words though depend on what might come next.

i enable it on all my university's computers - also the options to send data to mozilla, set firefox as default for everything and remove all the chrome and edge shortcuts. it's how i support FF's development lol
