It's worse with Google, because they add the friction but then hide it in their own browser. There's no issue copy/pasting links from Chrome. This is a pattern

It's worse with Google, because they add the friction but then hide it in their own browser. There's no issue copy/pasting links from Chrome.
This is a pattern of behavior. For example, when reading an AMP article hosted by google.com, an iPhone will correctly show `google.com` in its URL bar. Whereas an Android will conveniently rewrite `google.com` to show the URL of the article source, falsely implying the browser connected to a hostname that it did not.
In any other context, it would be called phishing.
