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.
As a stopgap you can use UntrackMe from F-droid . You can set it to use Invidious, or just launch in your preferred app, Newpipe, Firefox etc.
It also redirects to Nitter, though I don’t know how well that works anymore.
