    And opening most links in Android apps still opens them in Chrome, even if Firefox is your default browser.

    Time for Android to get the EU treatment.

      I have stock Android device and have disabled Chrome and everything opens in FF (including the uBlock addon) in-app. You are spreading lies.

      How about the US fixes some of its shit for once? Instead of exporting disgusting practices and forcing others to fix them?

      I don’t have this issue m Samsung galaxy s9+ on stock Android.

      Everything opens in the duckduckgo browser by default. The only time I see Chrome is when it’s for when a web site doesn’t load in ddg or firefox

        Where do you do that? There’s only an option for Default Browser as far as I can see, and that’s set to Firefox.

          I found an option in the Developer Options called Webview implementation, but only the Android System Webview can be selected. On Pixel 7.

          I honestly don’t know anymore as I can’t find it. Maybe it was just different in older Android versions, but now I akso just have FF set as my default browser and that’s it.

      I’m doing this from a Samsung, so the steps might differ slightly, but go into apps, scroll down to Chrome, select it, and then tick the ‘Disable’ option. Now Chrome literally can’t open anything.

        I have only one problem with that: no other browser is capable of Casting (as in Chromecast to an Android TV). Trust me, I heard and tried ALL the suggestions there is. And no, I don’t want to cast the whole phone screen, JUST the browser or the medium playing inside it. You know, science-kind media for my friend.
