URL Sanitization
Hello!
The ability to detect when the shared menu is triggered and offer the ability to sanitize the URL being shared.
Websites generate unique urls when you share something from their website/service/app. And that url has unique information that can be traced back to you.
The app who knows your identity, knows who you are sending information to. From memes to articles on anything.
So what I am thinking is, in the same way proton pass can prompt for a password entry, perhaps it can know when the shared menu is launched with an option to sanitize.
Or perhaps, you can share the link with Proton Pass and it pulls up its own share menu and that link would strip any tracking data.
So the person who owns proton pass protects themselves but also their loved ones.

So original poster here. Changed from my google account.
I realize that using the Proton Pass or anything you need to decrypt would be too slow for wanting to be a part of the "share menu" process. So it doesnt need to be a whole new app. But a small one, in the same way proton bridge exists.
So an app from proton that when installed it can be "shared with" so it shows up on the devices share menu. And as soon as you share it with this app, it would just itself bring up the same os' share menu. But the URL you provided to this proton solution is now sanitized and cannot be tracked.
