Is there a way to prevent one app from automatically opening another app when tapping on links?
On iOS, the system prompts me for permission before an app can open a link in another app. However, on Android, it seems to happen automatically without any confirmation.
Thanks in advance!
I have an app called URLCheck that lets me see what link an app is trying to open and chose which browser it redirects to, along with canceling it all together. This could work for you maybe? Here’s a link to the F-Droid page for it.
thanks a lot!
@happeningtofry99158@lemmy.world This is what you want. I have also been using URLCheck which acts as an airlock and has been absolutely incredible. I wish there was a Windows equivalent to this thing.
That’s what I use its goated. Especially as u can configure it to auto remove trackers.
And control the ‘embedded mode’ (forgot the real name, something like “Custom tabs”) for browsers - usually I want to open a page in the full separate browser so it’s independent of the app it came from.
Yeah exactly. But I still haven’t got Instagram to open links in an external browser.
