Social Share Block – Social Sharing Buttons for Posts and Pages


While this plugin may be somebody's cup of tea, it's not mine. I was looking for a lightweight plugin as possible I could customize for my needs. While plugin has many bells and whistles, it includes font awesome and it's css (59 kb), it's own css, two javascripts...It does not follow block editor aestetics and interface seems a bit complicated.Additionally, it does not provide javascript source code so developer could customize it in block editor, while being declared as open-source (minified javascript does not count as open-source) 


Not what I was looking for

Share your website/website-page link to social networks and mobile messengers.
