I just read this question How does Firefox know my ISP login page? which made me think of a related issue:

On all devices I have, the captive portal is opened using, I guess, a "browser view" rather than the regular browser. In some cases where I have to enter login details to get access, I would prefer to use a regular browser that remembers passwords but, especially on phones, it is hard or impossible to copy the URL (or even see the full address) for use in a regular browser.

Is there a way around this?

This is specifically aboutApplies to Android, iOS and Mac OS X (and maybe Windows but I rarely use it so I don't remember how it handles this situation). Some miniscule solution that detects the URL you are redirected to and lets me copy it would be good enough.
