I’ve been using Firefox for a couple months now, no issues.
Comment on Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM
calavera@lemm.ee 7 months agoCan you actually stop using chrome on android? Because every link I click it opens in their webview app which is chrome

Yeah there is a setting and now when I click links it opens in Firefox. But if you use the Google search widget it still opens in chrome, which is to be expected I guess.

That’s not only a problem for google search, most apps uses webview to handle web links. They can do like Voyager and have a option to open the default browser instead, but most of them don’t bother with that.

Dunno if this is what you mean, but you can definitely set another browser as default. Any context menus will change too: “Open with Firefox”, or w/e you’re using.
calavera@lemm.ee 7 months ago
No, I’m not talking about default browser but the WebView app. For example I’m using Voyager for Lemmy, and if I click on this post’s link it will open the website in the WebView, then I can click to Open with firefox.
But WebView itself is still chrome as you can see

You must be on stock android. I think you can still swap out the webview component but I forgot how
aeharding@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You can customize Voyager to open links in default browser not in-app: Settings -> General -> Open Links in
calavera@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Weird, I can’t see this option
flamingarms@feddit.uk 7 months ago
Ohhhh I see. Yeah, I think Sync uses Chrome too. Sync has an option to always open links in external web browser, so that’s how I got around that.

It’s even crazier than that. On some versions of Android there is no webview, only chrome! I think that was around Android 8 or so they dropped webview then re-added webview in the next version
