I often use the share functionality in mobile browsers (i.e. sharing a specific URL to a given app), and usually switch between two or more apps. Today both Chrome and Firefox (on Android at least) automatically show the last app shared to, but since I also share to other apps I have to expand the share menu. Currently Firefox show a list of recently used apps, which is perfect for my use, while Chrome doesn't show this.

In general I wish browsers would make it easier for me as an end-user to configure the share menu, and render it more consistently across browsers.

I recognize this might not be a feature request useful for the developer side of web development, but don't know where to post it, so I'm hoping this site is relevant.
