First, I do use Android devices, just not Samsung ones.
Second, I do not source news from Google.
Third, if it is E-Mail contacts that are coming up, then it is your e-mail app that is providing the pop-ups.
Look inside that app for share options inside of the settings.
Example:
Let's say that you want to share any given article onto your Facebook account.
In your browser, there should be a share option.
In the browser, bot the news article itself.
Select this, and look for the option 'Copy To Clipboard'.
Select that, and then open your Facebook app (or a wrapper app, as I do) and then long press the area where you would post something.
The 'Paste' option should appear- select it.
Your news article should now appear, and you can post it.
Maybe this is a few more steps than just using the links provided with the news stories, but as you can see, those links are often problematic.
I had so much trouble with those type links that I refuse to even acknowlege that they exist unless someone else has problems with them too and needs tofind a way around them.
There are a few browsers that are very secure and very fast, that are so much better than what is stock on Android.
If you have trouble finding the 'share' feature in your browser, I would suggest Lightning, FOSS Browser, or Smart Cookie (all are on F-Droid) as excellent third party browsers that fast, simple, and secure.
They all rely upon an app called Android System Webview, which is a built in app on Android devices.
Be back quickly hahaaa.. But yeah I see your point, not everything works splended with those machines either.
