If you have a website or message or any other active content you want to shift to another device, Handoff is still the better option. If you have a link or text or any other static blob, Universal Clipboard is your new best friend.

Media takes longer to copy than text, as you can imagine — more data needs to be transferred between devices — and the clipboard takeover only lasts for two minutes. After that, macOS assumes you didn't really want to transfer that data and reverts back to your local clipboard. I've been using it a lot, and it works well enough. It does occasionally flake out, like AirDrop (which also uses Continuity) — but strangely not at the same time; as such, I've been using one when I can't use the other.
