Google already does the latter on mobile. Every single one of their apps defaults to forcing a Chrome tab open instead of your preferred browser. Chrome on mobile doesn't offer extensions like Firefox does. I only recently discovered there is an option to turn off this behavior but its only a matter of time until they remove that option.
- nsomaru 7y agoIs this documented anywhere? Was trying to help a friend on android but I couldn’t find the setting
- nelblu 7y agoI am not sure whether that is true. I don't have Chrome on my android and firefox is my default browser. So all apps load firefox in app Page when they are navigating to an outside url.
- Larrikin 7y agoMost apps respect your preferences. The tab action to keep you in the app will typically give you a tab of your default web browser if your preferred browser has implemented it. Gmail and Google search specifically open a powered by chrome tab when you click on links unless you look around deep in the settings to turn off this user hostile feature.
