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?
Ok, maybe not EVERY browser, but Chrome (eww) and DDG both do not have this issue. They just open right in the browser. I didn’t even have to change settings.
I have the layout with the URL bar at the bottom, its just 2 small clicks.
Really, FF Android has other problems like the missing sanbox and I suppose using their own malloc instead of hardened_malloc when the OS uses it.
It’s not just about the clicks; I still can’t find an answer on tracking and security. Like, does this custom tab still run uBO? Does it still provide the tracker blocking I have set in the main browser? Does it clear all browsing data when I x out or go back?
Yes it does. Not sure about cookies, I think not. There is an option to open links in private tabs
