I'm looking for an an app or web browser that allows me to get onto Facebook and copy part of the text message. Is there such an app? The current Facebook or Facebook Lite app or a few web browsers I tried allow me to single click to copy the whole text message. But I only want to select and copy one or a few words out of it. Some browsers such as Via have the Desktop mode, in which this works. But in this mode the text becomes too small.
Thanks for help!

You can copy then edit out what you don't need , not aware of an app but possibly one out there.
Thanks! I find that temporarily changing Via browser to Desktop mode works fine. The text is small but I rotate the phone to landscape so it's not too bad.

I emailed the author of Via browser about this feature request. If he's kind enough to entertain the idea, I'll post an update here.

(In case anyone asks: I use Facebook extensively to study foreign languages. I constantly need to highlight one or a few words to launch Google Translate. I've been doing this for a few years using an old version Opera browser. But in late October, Facebook finally completely blocked access with that version of Opera.)
