Brave can't open link in some apps #3121

Closed zdybo closed 3 years ago

zdybo commented 3 years ago

Description:

My default browser is Brave. When i try to open link on Messenger app, nothing happens. If my default browser is Safari the link opens normally. The problem also occurs with other applications. There is no problem in the Apple Mail application, here links open normally on Brave with Brave as default. Other case, when, for example, in the Facebook application i want to open article, the link starts in the built-in Facebook browser, and from there selecting in the options run in Safari, it easily transfers to Brave and open in Brave. This problem occurs in various applications, the link of which, when clicked, should turn on in Brave, but it doesn't

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Having Brave (as default browser) and FB Messenger
  2. Try to open link from message (in Messenger)
  3. The link doesn't open, nothing happens.

Actual result: The link doesn't open, nothing happens. Expected result: Link open in Brave.

Reproduces how often: Always in some app.

Brave Version: 1.21 (20.11.10.16)

Device details: iPhone 7, iOS 14.2

Additional Information

It looks like a problem with Brave being my default browser.

Edit

I would like to add something else, the problem occurs in Messenger when I receive a message in which under the image to which the link is attached - e.g. a Facebook post and underneath, there is no link to this post in the message. The problem does not occur when there is a link in the message under the image pointing to the post, then Brave starts it normally - that is, it transfers to Facebook. It is the same in other applications, in some you can't even launch links.

Hi @zdybo, does this problem happens to you when you have Safari as your default browser? Could you check if it happens when you have Firefox or Chrome set?

We tried to reproduce it but no luck

And in addition what @iccub said, Is it possible to provide us a video of what is happening with/without facebook or an example link that causes this issue.

zdybo commented 3 years ago

@iccub @soner-yuksel Here links to video's from my phone. Messenger: https://streamable.com/chqt4o As you can see, the same is in Chrome as default. And from polish app Wykop (something like reddit): https://streamable.com/el0srs I tried and the same problem is in Firefox.

@zdybo Thanks for sending the details. I cant replicate this whatever I try and the same scenario is working for me through messenger and other apps. I will mark it for further investigation.

zdybo commented 3 years ago

@soner-yuksel I think you can try replicate this on Wykop App - https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/wykop/id365459650.
