There’s a quick shortcut to share the link and shortcut to the most used web browser. The UI looks similar in both browsers but you can see few more addons in the UI of Brave.

Kiwi web browser addresses this by providing a checkbox in their Accessibility settings.There’s not much to tell about the UI of a popup link browser but little things can matter a lot. Furthermore, navigating to in Brave and clicking a video to stream should also launch the external app and play the video content. In this situation I think Occam’s razor theory works best if the URL points to a domain with an associated app, launch the app (if desired, obviously).įor example, visiting /r/videos and clicking a YT link pointing to m./, /,, youtube.be, etc should launch (or offer to, permissions dependent) the external Youtube app and play the content linked-to. Users should not be required/forced to view content on the mobile website - if a site has an associated app, it should be launched when a link is opened with a URL regardless of where that link is hosted.

☝️ This method seems backwards to me - especially if you consider that we don’t really offer an explanation or documentation on the above facts. But if I visit in Brave and select a video to stream, the video will stream on the YouTube mobile website in-browser.

This means that if I visit / and click on a link to a YouTube video (assuming that Video playback in Brave option is disabled - otherwise it’ll open in Brave regardless), the I will be prompted to open the link in the app or in-browser (depending on the permissions settings).

As it is, opening links on sites with an app-associated URL only opens the external app if the link clicked is hosted by a 3rd party source.

This functionality is already present in Brave, but messaging/available information on this seems to (understandably) cause confusion about the way this feature works.

Most notably reported when opening/browsing YouTube and Twitter links. Users often ask or comment that they’re unable to open website links in their associated apps (on device) when available.
