As a former rif user, I really miss being able to see where a text hyperlink will take me without having to actually follow that link. It helped me avoid websites I don’t want to visit (for example because they are full of trackers or I already know there is a paywall).

In rif tapping a link opened a pop up showing the linked URL and the options to share, copy or go to that URL. But I can see how other people might dislike that extra step to follow a link, so maybe there are other options like only long tapping on a link showing the URL.

Or is there already a way to do this and I’m just ignorant?

    +1. Also, is there a way to see the url even after clinking the link?

      Hm, you’re right. I guess it depends on which browser you’re using (edit: no, it doesn’t), but I can only see the website and the title and not the whole URL after clicking the link. You could then click share and see the whole link, but that’s not exactly an intuitive or practical way to do it.
