Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1233

Describe the feature you'd like to request

As you know, there are some browser do not have their own kernel, such as Via or Xbrowser and so on. They rely on the Android System WebView provided by the system to render web pages.

Now, when sharing web pages with floccus through these browsers, the link obtained by floccus is empty.

Describe the solution you'd like

I hope you adapt such non kernel browsers so that they can share web pages to floccus normally. Thank you!

Describe alternatives you've considered

Periodically export HTML files and then import floccus

I would say that the title is very confusing, perhaps better worded as "support sharing from browsers using system webview" or something?

It happens with many applications, the same Android Firefox.

The only browser that works fine for me is Chrome.

I use different RSS (Feedme) readers and when I share with floccus this error also happens. The title of the article appears on the link line first and on the same line the https link.

Perhaps a simple solution would be that when sharing, it would only leave the phrase https in the link line and the rest of the text would be passed to the title.

This is a page and I click the Share.

The title is right, but the link is empty.

Well... no. Just to have the title itself.

I get the title first followed by the url, in the link line.

Whether in the Link or Title line, ideally floccus will filter the url that contains https or http and place it in the link line. The text that remains to the Title line
