Pretty sure that neither Android nor app developers will ever come up with an algorithm that works for me, so instead, I choose to take the reins and I use Andmade Share.
This awesome app lets me remove all the apps I never use to share anything with, which means this dialog only has three-four items for me.
I use Andmade Share to restrict the list of applications I share with.
In some cases, that list goes down to just one application so I don't even get the chooser dialog.
It keeps me sane.

Hasn't been updated in 5 years but actually doesn't look too bad on Nougat. Lightweight, fast, I'll give this a go over the next few days and see if I find any feature missing. Nice one, thanks.
FYI, the name for that is direct sharing, which was a feature introduced in Marshmallow. There isn't a way to disable/tweak it right now, unless you have root/xposed (in which case you can use modules like CustomShare or No Share Services as someone else suggested).
However, there are apps that function as workarounds, where you can share things straight to the app (after setting it as your default app when sharing things the first time with it) and it acts as its own customizeable share menu, effectively bypassing android's built-in share menu. There are numerous such apps; one that I see being mentioned a lot is Andmade Share, though from what I've seen of it, this one seems pretty outdated in terms of appearance.
It isn't as pretty, but it loads quicker and things will always be in the same user-defined spot: Andmade Share.
You can use Andmade Share to reorder and remove apps from the share menu. Unfortunately it's still Holo, so it sticks out a lot if you're using Lollipop.
I don't use the share feature, so I set:
To false in my user.js (overrides settings in about:config)
Edit: Ignore this for Android...
Edit: you might take a look at Andmade Share - Android Apps on Google Play
I use Andmade Share which lets you customize what shows up in the share menu.
Most importantly for me it doesn't result in the slow share menu loading that the stock share system does while pulling out frequent/specific contacts for individual apps.
There is a free app that replaces the share menu altogether so you can customize the apps that appear there. It also disables the contacts you see on the share menu (this feature is called Direct Share). The app is Andmade Share: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share Bad news is I'm not sure if Oreo is supported, you could give it a shot.
Oh God. Do you mean that you ALWAYS copy the link to clipboard and then paste it in another app? Sharing to apps is so much more efficient. The closest thing I know to what you're looking for is Andmade Share, which allows you to reorder the destinations. You can put "Copy to clipboard" wherever it's most convenient for you. Just drag it when it's open.
I used to use an app called Andmade Share to do this.
I hasn't been update in years, so I'm not sure if it still works. But you could check it out or try to find something similar.

Use an app called Andmade Share. It adds a separate share UI that's so much smoother.
You can pick which apps appear on the screen. I removed most of them.
Thank you for the replies. For what it's worth I spent more than I probably should have looking into this today and it involves Direct Share. There is an app that does not appear to be supported officially any longer, but I just downloaded it and it did exactly what I wanted. It's called Andmade Share.

ui is a little dated, but I hate the fact companies like dropbox and pushbullet start their share option with "A" to show up at the beginning of the share menu. I'd prefer to customize it or have it be in alphabetical order.

Android wear app .. I have a lot of two factor authentication logins and its great to just be able to access it from my watch rather than having to go to my phone every time.
I use Andmade Share and it works really well!

Check out Andmade Share, it lets you choose which apps show up in the share list, and in what order.

I feel like I've seen an app to thwart this bullshit androidian chicanery.
[edit: found it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share ]
this may still work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share
Also try Andmade share.
(I don't know if it works with oreo though.)
Try Andmade Share
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share
Andmade Share - lets you share stuff with multiple applications at once, for example to twitter, facebook and G+
One option is an app such as Andmade Share.
You can reorder, remove, group. Great app.
Andmade Share will do exactly what you need.
For the share thing, try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share
Andmade Share is what was previously suggested to me for customizing the share menu. The UI is ugly but it works.
meh, it's still cluttered shit, you better use Andmade share (ignore screenshots and set light theme), works fine on Oreo
>RCS still remains a white whale after years of build up.
well your answer it's called WhatsApp and in some countries Messenger and you are fine almost everywhere outside eastern Asia
>No way to share HD video. No simple way I mean. iPhone to Android.
Google photos?
> No customizable share menu. This drives me nuts.
yes, this is stupid
edit: maybe try Andmade share or Appchooser?
edit 2: andmade lets your reorganize order and has white theme, but Appchooser can hide for me Print
It isn't as pretty, but it loads quicker and things will always be in the same user-defined spot: Andmade Share.
