Highly doubt it. So many other browsers on so many platforms (mobile, tv, Auto,...) are built on Chrome and will have this by extension.

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

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.

Ok, that works, ta.

Strange how just setting the default doesn't.

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.

you might have forgotten to set your browser of choice as the default webview

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.
