brave browser android not offering a link

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. To access the mentioned user-interface settings on Brave, there's a dedicated Appearance settings section that isn't available on Chrome.Users often ask or comment that they’re unable to open website links in their associated apps (on device) when available. You can toggle this feature on in the main Settings menu. You have the option of closing the browser completely when you shut down the last tab. Tab functionality is generally the same on the two browsers apart from one unique feature on Brave tabs. The feature works quite well and rarely messes up the appearance of sites that are in dark mode by default. Chrome doesn't have this feature readily available yet unless you use Chrome Flags.īrave comes with an experimental night mode that adds a black background to every site you visit regardless of the publisher's setting.

Another major difference between the two browsers is the ability to force all the sites you visit into dark mode.
