It is amusing I uninstalled the Reddit app because I use google as an entry-point so often and it’s really a pain universal links forced me to open the app for a worse experience.
Stupid product strategy to ignore Google!
- flangola7 4y agoUniversal links?
- deafpolygon 4y agoWhen clicking on a link in any browser, if the URL matches an app that you have installed - it will switch to the app rather than stay in the browser. So anything reddit.com will bring up the Reddit app.
- flangola7 4y agoBut you can change which app is the default. I use RiF for example.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoPresumably the ability for an app to register itself as the handler for links matching a pattern. So, when you click a link to a reddit thread from a search result, it opens in the reddit app rather than the default browser.
- funcDropShadow 4y agoIs it possible to do that with Chrome/Chromium on a Linux desktop? I would like to reroute certain URL to different browsers.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoNot that I am familiar with. You could try an extension like this one, though I haven't tried it myself. It looks like you would click the link, then click the toolbar button. https://add0n.com/open-in.html https://add0n.com/open-in.html
