Web Share Target API (manifest: share_target) - it allows a website to specify itself as a share target. Of course, it's not yet supported on iOS.
This is not a web standard. Google wrote the specification and only Google have implemented it. It’s an unofficial draft:
> Editors:

> This specification was published by the Web Incubator Community Group. It is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track

Firefox doesn’t implement it either: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476515
Apple raised a concern about spoofing which seems to have gone unaddressed by the spec authors in over a year: https://github.com/w3c/web-share-target/issues/109
This may yet turn into a web standard given more work, but please don’t hold up a Google spec. implemented only by Google as if it were a part of the web platform that Apple are late in implementing.
The only relevant browsers on mobile are google's and apple's, and (modern) web standards are created by enough popular browsers implementing them. Literally all it would take for this to be a reliable web standard would be apple choosing to implement it.
You can apply that logic to literally anything Google thinks up. Google writes something in a spec and no matter how stupid, insecure, or privacy violating it is, by this logic Apple is now falling behind and holding the web back because all it would take to make it a standard is for Apple to do what Google wants. Why are you so keen to hand the web platform entirely over to Google?
Well until that point, and until it’s ratified as one, it’s not a web standard, so you can’t get disappointed that nobody else implements it.
