Android 12 fucking sucks. There’s this new “feature” where you can no longer go into app defaults and manually define what urls can be opened by which apps. There are “verified links” now which means nothing other than your browser gets to open shit.

When someone posts a link to a lemmy url, that means I can never open it in jeroba. It always opens in my web browser. This significantly reduces the overall usability of the app.

Is there any way around this? I’m one of the lucky few to have an unlocked bootloader phone so maybe I can get an older rom but I wish there was another way.

    I was under the impression that in the app info settings you could do this. Tap and hold the app icon until a menu pops up and then tap the “i” in a circle. This brings you to the settings app and that apps info where you can change permissions, etc

      Open supported links is on by default in Jerboa’s settings (at least it is in mine), it’s just getting overridden by Android 12. You need to manually approve each link, or else it automatically sends to your default browser.
