On android I take a screenshot and use the lens tool in my photos app.

The screenshot tool has a lens feature too but that one only offers opening the link while photos will also let me copy the URL without sending it to my browser.

In this case it is: https://watchdominion.org/

Lens is also good for OCR with built in copy to clipboard and translation features. As you can screenshot most apps or take a photo of a sign, letter, gift card, etc. it can be a handy little tool.

my photos app doesn't do that for some reason, when i use lens it just recognizes the qr and searches for qr code images. it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

edit: after your comment i also tried launching the lens app directly (rather than using lens from photos) and pick the image rather than using a camera, and that works. so google has two versions of lens on my phone that act differently. brilliant.
