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?
Please read what the actual problem is:
Example: I’m here using the Jerbo app. I have it set to open links in my browser, Firefox. It does not do this. It opens some sort of “Intermediary” browser (NOT Jerboa, NOT Firefox) that has a menu with the option “Open in Firefox”. I want it to skip doing this and just open links directly in Firefox.
It does this no matter what app I’m trying to open links in.
I already commented on that. There is no setting and it is not webview. The page is opening in Firefox, simply a different UI.
Some apps allow to edit how links are opened, for example Feeder. You can select browser “custom tab” or how it is called or real browser.
It matters what app you use because that is a wanted feature and not every browser supports it.
Sorry, I missed that because you replied to someone else with that. So it is Firefox…but does it still clear all data on exit an utilize uBlock Origin like the normal ui? I’m just trying to protect my data as much as possible and not create any more of a footprint than I already have over the years.

“Custom Tabs” was the keyword
