Using Firefox for WebView #1055

Open materialistic-bot opened 6 years ago

Hello,

When using Materialistic I realize that it always use Chrome to open the WebView instead of the default selected browser.

First I thought it's because Google lock it, but in the Imgur official app when I open a link it uses Firefox. (I can see the powered by Firefox)

Would there be a way for you to make Materialistic use the default browser for the preview ? Device: LGE LG-M703, SDK: 25, app version: 76

I'm using brave as the default browser on my device. The app seems to using the default browser properly

I had the same issue for the last few days. Turns out, somehow the default browser setting got reset on my android (I figured because clicking any URL was giving me an option of opening the link using one of the 3 browsers I have, including Firefox).

Once I set the default browser to Firefox (on Android - not Materialistic which already had the setting turned on for using external browser), the problem went away. Now, the preview is getting loaded using Firefox.

Too old an issue but I chanced upon it today while looking up solution to it myself. Hope it helps!
