I love the app, first and foremost. It's hands-down the best way to view Lemmy posts, and it feels amazing to scroll and interact with.

When I click a link that opens in a browser, though, it opens without any frame around it and can't open into any third party apps. I know it may not impact everyone, but for me this is pretty difficult to get around. Some use cases:

  • I clicked the link to view Liftoff! in the Play Store, and I couldn't click to actually download the app. Sure, I already have this installed, but it could happen for other apps.
  • I was reading an article that I wanted to share externally, but the menu for my browser wasn't available to share that content.
  • I clicked a YouTube video and wanted to watch it in the official app instead of the browser. There was no way to open the link in another app.

Again, loving the app but this would make it so much cooler!

I would like the option to use my own system defined browser instead of integrated into the app please.
