See original GitHub issueDescription
There is no reason brave://flags/#copy-link-to-text to remain enabled by default since the Copy link to highlight feature isn’t available in Brave due to concerns shared by @pes10k over here - https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment/issues/76.

- Select a random text.
- Right-click on it and select
Copy link to highlight. - Enter the copied link in the address bar to visit that specific section of the page.
Actual result:
Nothing, the feature isn’t available in Brave.
Expected result:
The created link should send users to the specific highlighted section of the page.
Reproduces how often:

no argument from me. If all thats needed here is to remove the UI-facing parts of the feature, that sounds 👍 to me.
Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding though, this is only about making the UI match the behavior, and not changing the behavior
QA STR:
Observe: Menu has an item “Copy link to highlight”
Expected result: Menu does not have an item “Copy link to highlight”
