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.
