[FEATURE] Option to disable opening links #804

Open Bufetr opened 10 months ago

Bufetr commented 10 months ago

For security purposes, it would be very useful to add an option for disabling opening web links when pressing, and only custom highlight the URL as simple text.

It is the most common method for installing spyware and malicious software/app from a phishing attack.

It will be very useful for many people who would like to use it in order to protect themselves, even from accidental pressing, for old and young people who luck the concept and experience of security, for journalists, and for anyone who needs this safety.

@Bufetr SMTP apps are dead. They were sold to ad company. F-droid versions are still safe. And there is already fork https://github.com/FossifyOrg. First release should be in 2-3 weeks.
