Earlier today (November 14 2023) Thunder for Lemmy opened my links in my default browser Firefox on my Android Pixel 7. Now it pops a dialogue asking me to unpause Chrome in order to follow the link.

I see the app updated today. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior?

    It seems it it using the first chromium browser it finds.

    I have brave and kiwi browser installed.

    It was opening in brave, then after un installing brave it opened in kiwi, then after uninstall too, in Firefox.

    I found force stopping chrome fixed this for me. but for those who run multiple browsers they should be able to choose which one to use.

    I had the same issue. I enabled the option “Open links in external browser,” and now it uses Firefox again, albeit by launching the full app separately instead of as an embedded activity.

    I would consider uninstalling google apps and any other bloatware using ADB tools.
