I don’t like using Chrome anymore, but any link I open goes to Chrome. Way more importantly, any YouTube video opens to the YouTube app, which is a huge problem imo. I end up not viewing 90% of the videos posted on lemmy, because I don’t want my YouTube feed to be screwed up.

Even innocuous content is a problem for me. Like, I may be interested in seeing a satisfying wood working video one time, but I don’t want my feed thrown off.

As it stands, I pretty much only watch videos on this platform if there’s a piped link accompanying them. My 3rd party app for reddit had the option of an internal browser, which I always used.

I love Jerboa, think it has the best UI, and recommend it all over lemmy. But I feel like it’s lacking important features, without an internal video player, and less importantly an intenral browser for non-video links.

Even the implementation of a setting that would allow me to open links to Firefox instead of Chrome or YouTube would solve my problem.

Anyway, just a thought.

Edit: So I’m dumb and changing default settings in my phone solved that problem. I would still like to see an internal browser and video player tho.

    For me at least (on android) it uses the default app and link handlers configured in the app settings.

    Unless Google has removed the ability to do that (which wouldn’t surprise me), tweaking those settings should work.
