So I got sick of how bad DDG browser is, so I finally switched back to FF and kept DDG just for app tracking blocking. I have uBO added and all set up. The pages are now beautiful. It’s like a whole new internet! However, when I click on links in apps, it doesn’t open directly in FF, some sort of Intermediary browser (run by FF) opens the page with a menu that has the option to “Open in Firefox”. FF is my default browser. Everything is set to not open links in-app. How can I make this stop and the links open directly in FF?

    Yeah, I’m saying jerboa should have an option to open links in an external browser. And then they wild open in your default browser and not the in-app webview browser. I’m not sure if jerboa has this, but I use boost and it does.

      It does have this and I have it set that way (to open in my browser). It does not open in the app OR the browser. It’s some kind of “intermediary” browser. I want it to skip this and just open in Firefox proper.

          I’m just using Jerbo as an example. It does this no matter what app. It’s something with Firefox. DDG and Chrome never had this issue. (But I ain’t going back to that garbage!)

            I understand what you’re saying, but it’s not necessarily a Firefox issue. I use Boost and the boost developer has given an option to bypass the in-app and custom tabs browsers and open directly in the external browser. See the screenshot I linked

              Both Chrome (eww) and DDG didn’t have this issue. I never had to set any special settings aside from “open links in browser” for the app I’m using.
