<![CDATA[Links from webapps are opening in Onion browser default instead of Morph]]>Hi,
After installing Onion browser, all the links I click on webapps are by default opening in Onion browser instead of Morph. Is there any way to change that behavior?

Thanks

@nanu-c

Thank you for your continuing work on the Onion Browser, it is very much appreciated.

I agree. This app is a must-have and everyone can notice that it's being developed with a lot of care. 🙂

That never happend.
Adding non tor browsing means we have something like rival browser to morph and I am the only person maintaining Onion, while ubports and more people are behind the other one.
So either what we need is

  • Standard app selection for url handlers -> unlikly to happen soon
  • Unregister the url-handler -> i like it to have onion browser as first choice
  • Disable/enable option for tor in onion -> how should we visually indicate, that tor is off?
  • Add tor to morph -> i have no clue how to addapt the deb building for including tor-binary in the right place -> help needed

But it's not automated, it's handmade ! 😉

The workaround is long press the link.
Then choose Copy link
And paste it anywhere you like.

Maybe this could be a workaround?

The default app is Morph.
But I suspect a side effect from forking Morph to create Onion.

I guess maybe the app's name can set the priority.
But it's just speculation, hence my ping to nanu-c Onion's creator (lets call him "The Gardener").

Moreover I would like to open the links from ubports forum webapp and youtube webapp in morph browser itself.

Just to point out that this kind of issue are best addressed directly to the app maintainer.

If you wanted to open a discussion about how it should be handle that is the right place.
And I think that's where it is going 😉

@nanu-c Is the behavior described an unwanted side effect of forking morph or is it a well thought feature ?

I was delighted when I saw that they did!
I would have thought that those who are conscientious enough to use the onion browser would expect links to open in it.
