It is a little hard to explain but here’s what I’m trying to accomplish.

I use a tool called Kagi Summarizer a lot. To use it I can go to the website and paste in the url I want to summarize.

Or I can append the page that I want to summarize like so: https://kagi.com/summarizer/index.html?target_language=&summary=summary&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2023%2F12%2F14%2Fscience%2Fneanderthal-sleep-morning-people.html

This works super well as a bookmarklet but sometimes on android I want to share a url from another app and have it auto open in the kagi summarizer.

I tried to make a PWA to do this but FF for android doesn’t have the share_target functionality to share to it. So the PWA works fine but only if it is installed in chrome, which I don’t want.

I’m looking for an app where I can share text/url to it and it will automatically append that text to a url and open it in the browser.

Anyone know of something like this?

    If you set it as default search engine, it works easily with sharing with the firefox app. But then you have to switch search engines for every time you search something else in that app.

    Another workaround could be to install another firefox fork to only use it for this search. You can set up your intended search there and then only use that app for sharing search terms to it.

    You can do that with Fennec, Mull and whatever else is out there.
