Reproduction:

If I'm visiting a web page in Chrome tht I wish to share on Mastodon, If I right click, I get a menu item to share with. However, this shares ONLY the link, not the headline/title or the page, UNLESS I highlight the chosen text before sharing, and then, I have to clean up the "quotemarks".

Conversely, If I'm visting a page, and chose to click the toolbar for the extension, I get a nice, natural-looking headline that's quick and contextual for social media.

I've checked to be sure I don't have some other Mastodon sharing tool enabled. I find if given an option to "include page title" from the context menu, I don't see a place to configure this headline inclusion. I've added all my desired servers to the list, it just seems like the "toolbar" behaves differently from the context menu actions.

I thought the browser extension APIs didn't provide title information for the current tab from right-click menu options, but apparently I was wrong! Just tried a quick fix and it appears to work fine. If no issues show up in cross-browser testing, this will be in the next update, which should hopefully be soon.
