Apple oughta put a stop to this nonsense.

1. There's a global default browser setting: follow it.

2. Almost no app needs an embedded SFSafariViewController just to open random links

2b. Extend this to photo pickers (especially those that expect access to the entire library)

I actually like chat apps that embed SFSafariViewController, mostly because I get sent a lot of links in the middle of conversations that I’d like to go back to.
