This is odd. When I try to copy urls to repost the url disappears. Instead I am provided with a statement that SAYS SEARCH OR TYPE URL. This is occurring on X, YOUTUBE, and other media. This is new. Not with FR.

I often cut and paste across platforms. But not now. Just started yesterday.

What am I doing wrong

ADDITIONAL TROUBLE WITH CHROMIUM

There is a bug in Chromium that scrambles bookmarks.

Important: Maintain backups of Chromium-engined browser bookmarks - EXPORT to "bookmarks.html" file.

Bookmarks unusable since last update, blending together, changing when clicking on them, etc

I think that is a download link, yes.
Will try later.
Thankyou!!.
I have a little time right now for covfefe + freerepublic, telegram and rumble before work

FYI

X is under hacking attack. I suspect it is in part because the Hard Left is angry with Elon Musk getting totally behind President Trump.

X has been very stable until recently. And they seem to fix problems pretty quick.

Might be the browser you’re using...there’s a LOT of hits when one searches for “Brave Browser Issues”

Unplug it for 30 seconds then plug it back in.

URL copy issue ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to Chickensoup for the ping!

[Red Badger]

I have seen that before. Some websites will disable your mouse buttons when trying to copy text..................

[Chickensoup]

It won’t copy the url

[Chickensoup]

Yep

[Chickensoup]

Thanks dayglored!

Let’s cut to the chase. You failed to cite your browser up front, but scrolling revealed that it’s Brave.

So, “IT-101”: Start here (below), DOWNLOAD/reinstall Brave and get back to those following the thread who failed to suggest the proper first step

https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404876135565-How-do-I-uninstall-Brave

I bet it’s then resolved...unless your browsing habits exposed you to harmful code, and that’s a whole other discussion.

Always works for me.

Highlight the url. Do a ctrl-c.

Put cursor in application where you want url copied.

Do a ctrl-v.

Good luck.

I know yahoo search will do that- you highlight the link, then go to copy it, and it dissappears. What I found was that if I highlight it, then press ctrl plus c, it will copy it

[Bob434]

Awesome, will have to try that!

Thanks for the link and info about FreeTube. When I went to the download page under MacOSx64, it gives three buttons: .dmg, .zip, and ,7z.

Could you explain what x64 means, and also how to determine which button to use? Running Sonoma and Safari.

Appreciate it much.
