Send Link

Features / Motivation

I often want to forward links to different, most of the time self-hosted, services while browsing the web (for example, post a link of a YouTube video to my TV to watch it later). So I searched for an Add-on to handle this, found nothing, so here is one.

What it does

It will add entries to the context menu of links on all websites based on the provide configuration (see the Add-on options page).

Clicking such an entry will execute a GET request to the configured URL while replacing %%u with the clicked URL (if the URL starts with http).

URLs starting with mailto will be just opened, so probably your default mail program will compose a new mail.

Configuration

URLs, separated by line break, %%u is the placeholder for the clicked URL. Everything before a | (pipe) will be used as the context menu label.

Example:

Entry1|https://example.com?url=%%u
Entry2|https://example.com?url=%%u
Entry3|mailto:me@example.com?subject=Forwarded link&body=%%u
