I don’t like using Chrome anymore, but any link I open goes to Chrome. Way more importantly, any YouTube video opens to the YouTube app, which is a huge problem imo. I end up not viewing 90% of the videos posted on lemmy, because I don’t want my YouTube feed to be screwed up.
Even innocuous content is a problem for me. Like, I may be interested in seeing a satisfying wood working video one time, but I don’t want my feed thrown off.
As it stands, I pretty much only watch videos on this platform if there’s a piped link accompanying them. My 3rd party app for reddit had the option of an internal browser, which I always used.
I love Jerboa, think it has the best UI, and recommend it all over lemmy. But I feel like it’s lacking important features, without an internal video player, and less importantly an intenral browser for non-video links.
Even the implementation of a setting that would allow me to open links to Firefox instead of Chrome or YouTube would solve my problem.
Anyway, just a thought.
Edit: So I’m dumb and changing default settings in my phone solved that problem. I would still like to see an internal browser and video player tho.
Seconded.
Please let us choose what app we want to send certain links to. Specially YouTube and browser links.
Right now my procedure is to open the post, click to share link and choose the app, eg for YT links I use NewPipe.
There were a few users who solved the problem. You can change the default settings in the app section of your phone’s settings. Change Firefox to default and unselect the default option to open links in YouTube’s settings.
