I appreciated how the reddit app I used (relay) kept everything internal. I don’t want all the links I open on this app opening in my browser and plugging up my history. I doubly appreciated how it would open YouTube links in an internal video player that wasn’t linked to my YouTube account in any way. This is a must have for me to prevent my YouTube “algorithm” from getting any ideas. For example, I watch a video about “X” and now my whole feed is suggesting I watch more videos about whatever “X” was.

    Oh right so that is the current behavior. This still ends up with your browser history picking up everything that you go to in the app. I don’t like this.

      Understandable, to each their own.

      I personally would not like having links not open in Firefox, since I would lose the large amount of improvements I get from Firefox extensions. I also launch everything by default in private browsing, so the history issue is moot for me.
