On Android all Google apps default to opening in Chrome with no option to change it, even if you change the default URL configuration that only seems to work outside of Gmail / News Feed. This also applies to their search widget, which you cannot remove at all.
Incredibly frustrating end user experience when I have everything in FireFox, and Adblock too.
- px43 4y agoI have the default browser on my Pixel 5a set to Brave, and everything opens in Brave. I have the Google news feed disabled, but links from gmail and the search window all open Brave as expected.
- saghm 4y agoMy default browser on my phone is Firefox, and even when I open articles from the news feed in the Google App, they open from Firefox as well. I guess it's possible that this could vary by phone, but I've never had an issue with an Android phone using my non-default browser when opening a link from an app in years.
