A high school teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her students. Then Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson stepped up to the challenge.

    But if your default browser is Firefox then sync uses a webview based on that. With uBO.

      I checked my settings in Sync. The default browser is set to internal at the moment

          Pictures are better than words

          My current settings

          Internal browser on OP’s link

          Device browser (Firefox) on OP’s link

          Whatever internal browser Sync is using, it isn’t Firefox. My default browser on my device is Firefox.

            I thought about in the Android settings:

            Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Browser app

            But, Sync could directly call the Chrome package name (hard coded), which would be a d*ck move and shit design.

            Normally, Android uses as “Custom tab” the default browser in the Android Settings.

              ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ dunno how it’s coded but i figured the pictures could help clarify. It’s probably part of the reason you see some on here complain about ads on linked websites. I will say that it makes me appreciate FF and UBO even more. The current state of the Web is pretty shite

                The screenshots helped. I have Sync for Reddit installed on my phone, and the app opens Firefox without asking which browser I want to use. I don’t have a default browser and uninstalled Chrome.

                This behavior with your screenshots made me think about hard coded method to call Chrome custom tab. It can also be how Android handles browsers.
