Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Starting 89 version, Chromium added shady "Share link to" feature in sharing hub. I saw some commets around this topic (#1817) and I feel it would be possible to delete this feature only.

Describe the solution you'd like Disable "Share link to" feature only in sharing hub.

Describe alternatives you've considered Disabling sharing hub feature completely would be the alternative way. But it also deletes useful features like QR Code.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the 'Share link' feature in Chromium's source code (likely in chrome/browser/sharing hub/), identify the responsible flag or code, and disable it by modifying the source. Then rebuild Chromium to verify.
