it opens in the background? why?

Christian Schünke, 2023-11-12

1-click way to share urls. Personally I'm ok with just copy/pasting the url so not very useful to me, but it works just fine. EDIT: for some reason I can't paste into WhatsApp Web anymore so this extension has become very useful now. I do wish it would share in the currently open session of WhatsApp (or at least open a new tab i.s.o. a new window). Having the option for a context menu item would also be appreciated.
