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.
Not to beat the point to death, but I’m using FF and UBO on a stock Pixel 7a. I’m browsing Lemmy using Sync, which means i need to purposefully open the link in Firefox, or it uses the Sync built in browser
¯\_(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.
Will that work on my pixelgooglephone?
Yes just install Firefox and the ublock addon.
Yes, Mozilla has had a browser on android for a while now. It also has many of the same privacy addons as the PC version

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
Default browser in Android, not Sync.
Pictures are better than words
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.
