Comment on YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete)

  I downloaded it, but how does it work setting it as your default browser? Doesn’t that prevent links from opening in your browser of choice? (in my case, Fennec)

    You set URLCheck as your default browser, then you can select an actual default web browser in the app.

      Or don’t change your default browser at all and selectively share to URLCheck when you need.

        I dislike that Android makes it so easy to accidentally set an app as default for something, and the only way to reverse it is to revoke all of the app’s defaults

      Oh, I see. Thanks. I’ll re-install it so I can try it. I panicked when it asked me to set it as my default browser.
