Mar 26, 2024, 12:00 PM@owa so let me get this straight - being booted out of an app like say, a mastodon client, every time I wish to read an article in app, is supposed to make for a better user experience?

Drew 🐘dvogel@mastodon.socialMar 26, 2024, 4:57 PM@owa @Abazigal The linked article would be much more convincing if it explicitly called out this ability as an enabling factor:
"Mandating that non-browser apps utilise a users' default browser for third-party websites, will unlock a more vibrant and equitable digital landscape. [The essential character of existing in-app experiences can be replicated with remote-tab functionality of all major browsers. Therefore the barrier to compliance would be low.]"

@owa Thank you getting back to me as well. I was genuinely perplexed by this as well. Perhaps I have been so conditioned to apps opening in either safari view or their own browser that for that moment, I just couldn’t fathom it supporting a web view of another browser.
