Idea: handle link intents in WebView #141

zsoltsandor commented 4 years ago

I just found out that WebView is the fastest way to render pages, and with Lynket it can be used almost perfectly as a browser replacement. What I am missing is Lynket's ability with WebView to capture links, and pop up the "Open with" dialog, or pass the link to an already existing pairing. It would be nice to have such a functionality. (And with Bromite, plus your preferred ad and tracking blocker, WebView is just as perfect as it gets.)

Thanks for raising this, I have been meaning to work on that area, will consider this.

That would be awesome. And also Gecko based browsers, if that is even possible, even if they might change when Preview becomes the default. But Qwant for example is based on ESR, afaik.
