    I’ve been using Firefox on my android phones for years though, I don’t remember it ever being more involved then setting it as default on the popup on first launch.

      I have been using Firefox as the default browser on my iPhone for a while now. It wasn’t complicated to setup either.

        Same here but it’s not Firefox with its own Engine, it’s a Firefox frontend for WebKit with some of Apple’s restriction.

      There are a bunch of apps that strictly require Chrome for their in-app custom tabs, though. I have to re-install Chrome on occasion because I can’t log into apps without it. Also, having Chrome installed at all makes it impossible to NOT set a default browser (i.e. to have it ask every time), which is what I prefer since I use several different browsers for different use cases. (Note: this is on Pixel. Never had that problem on my older phones.)

        While we can, we should reject those sites and program them to the standards.
        Including that some features are optional.

        I have Firefox set up and never was the in-app browser firefox

        How I know? I have dark reader active on those pages and usually websites don’t reflect system primary settings.

          I think it used to be possible to set your default “custom tabs” browser as well, but I don’t think it is anymore. I’m not totally sure though.

          I don’t know why these apps use custom tabs in the first place. It’s always struck me as a solution in search of a problem.
