1933520 - Copy Without Site Tracking: Also show option on text field.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Manuel Bucher [:manuel]]

For links in text form we show all the link option: https://example.com/test, https://example.com/?utm_source=test

Also show the "Copy Link Without Site Tracking" Menu option.

Why it is important: Large websites such as youtube expose the link in text form where we currently don't show the CWST menu item. Adding this would close one gap where users currently can't use the feature.
