It's well known that that's simply because Safari is the only default browser option on iOS, so apps have to use workarounds if they want to let users open links in a different browser. Though even then all iOS browsers must use Apple WebKit.
On other operating systems you can set the default browser to be Firefox, Chrome, or whatever else you want, and different browser engines are allowed.
- leesalminen 8y agoThe inbox app for iOS has a “remember my choice” radio button for the Safari/Chrome choice. Somehow the app hasn’t remembered that choice for several months.
- georgebarnett 8y agoThe same happens in Hangouts. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to choose safari.
