Firefox Preview adds support for recommended extensions, including uBlock Origin

Google already does the latter on mobile. Every single one of their apps defaults to forcing a Chrome tab open instead of your preferred browser. Chrome on mobile doesn't offer extensions like Firefox does. I only recently discovered there is an option to turn off this behavior but its only a matter of time until they remove that option.

I am not sure whether that is true. I don't have Chrome on my android and firefox is my default browser. So all apps load firefox in app Page when they are navigating to an outside url.

Most apps respect your preferences. The tab action to keep you in the app will typically give you a tab of your default web browser if your preferred browser has implemented it.

Gmail and Google search specifically open a powered by chrome tab when you click on links unless you look around deep in the settings to turn off this user hostile feature.

Is this documented anywhere? Was trying to help a friend on android but I couldn’t find the setting
