Is there an app you can share text to that will append that text to a url and open it in the browser? (lemmy.ml)

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 are on stock Android you are already giving all the data to Google. If you open a page in Chrome or not doesnt really matter.

But maybe try another Chromium browser? Cromite is currently the best for all Android versions, Vanadium only for GrapheneOS

You could also create a custom search engine in Firefox, select it and paste the url as search string
