    It might help to have the extension developed/endorsed by mastodon and to have all mastodon instances subtly nagging you to install it.

    Also this is only needed for desktop, on mobile web sites can use the OS’s built in share functionality through the web share api

      Yeah however for mass adoption this is a terrible idea, there is already the extra step to choose an instance versus a regular social media that is just one link and one button.

      I know for people like you and I choosing an instance isn’t that big of a deal, nor is an extra extension (though i try to use as few as possible) but for a regular user it might cause issues.
