Description

Currently iOS only presents users the clean copy option in the “hamburger menu” (…). If you copy the URL from the URL bar, there’s no option

Steps to reproduce

1. Select the URL in the URL bar
2. Long press to get the copy etc options
3. See no “clean copy” option

Actual result

Expected result

To have a “clean copy the url” option

Reproduces how often

Device/iOS version

Affected browser versions

Reproducibility

• with Brave Shields disabled
• in the latest version of mobile Safari

Miscellaneous information

Two suggestions

• always show the option when selecting all text in the URL bar
• Always include the clean copy option when the selected text looks like a URL

Discussed in triage, OK with using "Copy Clean Link" as the copy and letting it slide to second page if necessary, can fix later if needed
