    I thought about in the Android settings:

    Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Browser app

    But, Sync could directly call the Chrome package name (hard coded), which would be a d*ck move and shit design.

    Normally, Android uses as “Custom tab” the default browser in the Android Settings.

      ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ dunno how it’s coded but i figured the pictures could help clarify. It’s probably part of the reason you see some on here complain about ads on linked websites. I will say that it makes me appreciate FF and UBO even more. The current state of the Web is pretty shite

        The screenshots helped. I have Sync for Reddit installed on my phone, and the app opens Firefox without asking which browser I want to use. I don’t have a default browser and uninstalled Chrome.

        This behavior with your screenshots made me think about hard coded method to call Chrome custom tab. It can also be how Android handles browsers.
