Copy link to highlight

[Neopolitan]

Since Chrome 90, there has been a feature which allows users to highlight some text on a given webpage and create a link which, when visited, highlights the text again. The link is appended with #:~:text= with the text to be highlighted being URL encoded and put after. A simple but incredibly useful feature I recon Firefox could benefit from.

Can you provide with instructions to disable this on the context menu, this doesn't serve a true purpose for me and it's taking up additional effort to avoid clicking it by mistake.
