    No, I’ve shared my screen before to demonstrate in video call and I’ve had people try to click the screen I’m sharing. Buttons are rarely just ignored in my experience, especially when they’re similar to another button.

      This isnt a button, mate. Its a menu entry. And the entry they usually use is still right there, above it. Not everything has to be designed for people with a room temperature IQ.

        A menu entry is a button in a menu… And yes, that’s why I said it could easily be a keyboard binding instead. That way it’s designed for the people that actually know how to use it.

          Pretty sure ctrl+c is copy clean link by default in Brave already if you are copying from the url bar, so they could just copy that. But you want to copy a link that isn’t in the url bar, then you have to right click and click the clean link option. Given some links are just text that also is a hyperlink, so it still needs to be a menu option imo so you can copy clean links without opening the link with trackers first.

      That’s silly. You can right click anywhere on any website and view the source. People who don’t use it just ignore it.
