Inconsistent text selection menu? - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Updated to android 10, ClipStack no longer works, a dev recommend Private Clipboard app from here. To use it, I have to select a text, and pick 3 dots menu, then "copy to PClip". Problem is, I can't find this 3dots menu outside of chrome web browser.

"https://i.imgur.com/rEYOslM.jpg" is what I have in most cases
What gives?

formatted for mobile viewing by google

Does anyone know of a method to disable the "formatted for mobile viewing" that results when you use the new voice search? It is getting really old to have to scroll to the bottom of the page and select "view page directly" just to view a webpage as I should.
I am stock nonroot....and I have tried everything I can think of....
in the browser settings there is a setting that allows you to change your client from mobile to desktop. this will affect all webpages though.
Type about:debug in the url window then go to settings and scroll down to ua string and select desktop

Ok....changing to desktop with about:debug didn't work. However, I just noticed my Google search settings were again set to format to mobile. I had changed that...but what ever. Changing that setting does make the voice search default to regularly formatted pages.....But...now it gives me the non mobile view of Google. That sucks too because now I get no location based searches..
Can't win for losing.

[Q] On demand pop-up browser?

I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.
Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.
I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.

...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.
Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.
It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.
I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.
Hope this helps.
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.
Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!
Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?
That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.

Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.

How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?
For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.

[Q] Floating browser for all apps

Hi All,
Just got my G3 for 3 weeks and it's quite decent. However, I would like to ask if there is any method to let the browser floating on current app instead of switching to it.
The current scenario is that when I tap on a link in any app other than browser, it will switch to browser or pop up dual-window (if the app supports dual window), but I hope it can pop a floating browser. I know that I can do it manually from pull-down menu and select browser on the quickslide navigation bar but in this way I'll have to enter the address by myself.
Thanks

Native Messenger app built-in browser question..

Is there a way to disable it? It's garbage. Is there a way to force links to open in default browser without having to select "open in browser" from the drop down menu?

I agree - I receive job notifications all day via text w/ links in them and on my Note 4 it worked fine, but on my new Note 7 it opens what I presume is a Webview minibrowser that only partially loads, I then had to use the drop down menu to load it into Chrome, which reloaded the page, which finally opened the link into the app that it was associated with in the system to begin with - WTH?!?!
So the only fix I found was to replace the stock app with the Google messaging app -

WhatsAppWeb on W10M

WhatsApp Web works on my HP ELITE X3 running latest w10m using Monument Browser.... syncs with WhatsApp running on another phone via Bluetooth (wife’s iPhone X in my case!)... mirrors content and most functionality.
Not tidy, best in landscape So, could run your own WhatsApp on a Android or iOS device and access it on w10m as long as the phones are Bluetooth linked.
Open w10m phone’s Monument browser.
Hit 3 dots to open Monument browser controls
Adjust ZOOM; @65% (may need to tinker depending on screen real estate of other phones).
Change SETTINGS:
NAVIGATION MODE; CHROME.
JAVASCRIPT; ENABLED.
Open new Monument browser tab.
Navigate to web.whatsapp.com and scannable barcode appears.
Tick KEEP ME SIGNED IN
Open Whatsapp on other phone.
Hit 3 dots to open Whatsapp controls.
Select WHATSAPP WEB.
Hit + PLUS button to open barcode scanner
Point barcode scanner at the WhatsApp barcode.
Barcode should be accepted and a progress bar appears. GIVE IT TIME!
Whatsapp messages will appear on Monument browser if all has gone well, and you can send and receive, but notifications not working.
**PIN working Monument Whatsapp web window to Home screen for easy access**
If progress bar seems to have stalled check Whatsapp – Whatsapp web on the phone to confirm connection has been made. If it has, PIN browser window to home screen as above. Close all tabs. Restart phone. Click pinned window and hopefully that will work after page load delay - which seems inescapable.
PS clicking enable desktop notifications doesn’t seem to do anything (perhaps unsurprisingly).
Hope this helps someone ?

I did the same steps that you described, but I still have a problem apart from notifications: I can't view images, they remain with a circular spinning without possibility to download, I only view the low level preview of the image...did I miss something in the configuration ? Thanks
If still the same after restart of both devices (try that!) maybe it's a quirk of your particular phone? Fine for me.
Having said that, I've found having to carry two devices just to use Whatsapp is a burden [duh!] and I've installed Unigram (which is a Telegram client) and turns out to be better than Whatsapp. As a bonus, half my contacts were on it already and those I wanted to stay in touch with a la Whatsapp happily installed it. Available on w10m (but will not be updated further) and desktop

Hi guys, I found out that in several apps that do not have support they have the possibility to work, you just have to install an old version app, I work with the instagram app, but the only bad thing is that it does not let me send messages but yes I can receive notifications, I am trying to find the old apps like instagram and trying to revive them, PD: the facebook messenger app does not work, but the facebook app I am trying to install old versions to see if it works, the bad thing is that it is very difficult to find the xap
