The sharing popup has been doing nothing for months. Probably since this commit:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/796e1d4c1760af3be27ee241ce71c504a0263657](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/796e1d4c1760af3be27ee241ce71c504a0263657)

I pushed a PR for this, can you have a look/merge it @Falco please ?

Since I can’t repro this in my MacOS Chrome, aren’t you experiencing:

> [@Can't share links on latest Chrome](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-share-links-on-latest-chrome/83858):
>
> Not exactly sure when this started, but whenever I click on the share link of a post, I get this empty popup in latest Chrome (Windows 10). Is there a way to detect whether there’s nothing to share it via and show the custom share modal instead?

?

Anyway, the code looks good and a safer default so 🚢it.

yes, probably the same bug, but as you said I think it’s safer to just rely on the fallback I added
