    Here it is:

    #!/usr/bin/zsh

nl=$'\n'
dnl=$'\n\n'

url=$1
msgcontent=$url; shift
argi=1
for arg ($@); do
    argi=$(($argi + 1))
    msgcontent=${msgcontent}${nl}Argument\ ${argi}': '${arg}
done

title="${0:A}"
msg="An application attempted to open a web page:${dnl}\"${msgcontent}\"${dnl}Copy the URL to clipboard?"

kdialog --title $title --yesno $msg
answer=$?

if [[ $answer = 0 ]]; then wl-copy $url; fi

    If you want to translate it to Bash, keep in mind that arrays behave differently between the two shells, and syntax like for arg ($@); do would likely misbehave or not work at all.

    Also, there’s an issue where some applications do something weird, and the URL seems to be a zero-length argument. I have absolutely no idea what’s up with that.

    You can set some browser-unrelated program or script as your desktop environment’s default browser, for example I wrote a Zsh script that creates a KDE dialog and asks me to copy the URL to the clipboard.

    I’m not currently at my PC, but if you want it I can paste it in a comment here when I get to it - it shouldn’t be too hard to translate it to Bash, either.

    Other than that? /usr/bin/true is a pretty nice default browser for applications to start without your consent, very minimal and lightweight.

    No harm in asking, nw:

    The first one that comes to mind is Fortnite, it has been used for advertising Halo and Star Wars, at least I think those were sponsors veiled as simple crossovers but I’m sure they’re not the only sponsors/crossovers.

    Though, mostly I was refering to almost every live-service game as of late, if you count “please check out the shop and buy these new skins” as advertisements. They’re not being paid by third parties to deliver them, but they sure were as annoying as TV ads when I experienced them…
    The latest example I can think of is Sea Of Thieves, where I still haven’t fully figured out how menus work because sometimes half of the screen points you to some kind of shop.

    Lunacid, great lil’ game until you decide to try and get all the achievements.

    Ending spoilers

    The one thing I don’t really like is how all of the world building is more or less inavlidated by the classic “it’s just a dream bro”.
    Yes, the dreamer is supposedly an eldritch being, but I’d like to appreciate all the tiny little lore connections you can find without the looming threat of “this doesn’t make sense because it’s all a dream”.

    Like with skeletons.
    Why skeletons?
    All enemies in the game have some sort of explaination, from the simple “this is a fog beast” to “holy knights cursed themselves and became abominable horses, tainting vampire cattle and turning their captors into the puddle of harm that currently stands in your way”.

    But skeletons?
    They don’t have any explaination, unlike the mummies of the Temple of Silence - they’re just nondescript undead enemies where undead enemies thematically fit. The dreamer put them there, because it’s a dream.
