I use Firefox on desktop but on Android i use Brave for one single reason: it lets me open links in the full browser rather than a webview. Or whatever that tech is called. I hate that stuff. It drives me absolutely bonkers. Like, you might think that's irrational and/or that i have some kind of anger management problem but i promise you it is way beyond that. I'm fucking actually feral about this. This one thing determines which browser i use. If i couldn't find one with it i would have to start uninstalling apps that don't let me force full external browsers.
Firefox used to allow you to force this setting but at some point stopped. I don't know why. Give it back, please. (Along with full desktop extensions...)
Anyway if anyone knows how to change this i would be happy.

What are you referring to regarding the webview? Are you talking about custom tabs?
-
Yeah sounds like custom tabs is the thing i hate.

You're probably confusing webview and custom tabs. Custom tabs run in the default browser itself, while webview is an entirely separate browser.
-
Alright that's very possible. It sounds like custom tabs is the name of the damn thing. Anyway i don't know how to turn it off :(

Imagine throwing your whole privacy away because of a single niche issue.

throwing your whole privacy away
Listen to yourself, you could prevent some lies

Can you please read the rest of this thread and then come back and tell me how you can support a company like that?
-
Easy: I don't chose my products based on political alignments of the manufacturer. Do you ask your baker for their political views before buying bread? Do you ask your barber? Why should I suddenly care when it comes to software?
-
I do. I do not put an Alexa in my house as that company can not be trusted. I do not buy food from certain companies as they can not trusted. I do not install software on my system from companies that can not be trusted, have a shitty track record. I vote with my wallet.

I'm not throwing all my privacy away.
Just some of it.
But it's pretty easy to get me back on Firefox.
