Add "fetch content from browser" option to Android app #1361

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The Wallabagger browser extension allows to "fetch from browser" to bypass paywalls (if I have a valid subscription to that site). It works perfectly. However, when sharing a website directly to the Wallabag Android app, this option is missing. As a result, certain paywall sites can only be saved properly on a PC browser but not with the Wallabag app.

Describe the solution you'd like Add the option "fetch content from browser" to the Android app.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried using the Wallabagger app on Iceraven and Kiwi, but they won't work at all.

Sadly sharing the page from your browser in Android won't give us the page source code, even less so with the session setup and the javascript executed. The only solution is to make the Wallabagger extension mobile compatible.
