      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

        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.

          Hi @jittopjose ,
          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 ?

            @3arn0wl sometime the tor network is too slow and I have to open it in morph browser. Moreover I would like to open the links from ubports forum webapp and youtube webapp in morph browser itself.

              @AppLee Its not only related to that particular app. I love to use Onion browser most of the time.. but not always. so the default application that open on clicking a link in another webapp should be default browser and the user have the liberty to copy link and open it in another browser...

                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").

                  The problem here is, that morph and onion are registering an url handler...

                    And there is no place where to define the default app for an url

                      @nanu-c If it's not immediately possible or desirable to make a single browser (embedding Tor in Morph), can't you yourself include in onion a mechanism to disable/re-enable Tor? Maybe this could be a workaround?

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

                          @AppLee Of course, when it's possible! But it's not automated, it's handmade ! 😉

                            I will have a look into adding tor to morph, but my idea was to get some feedback from the tor foundation, because then we have a semi-official tor-browser.
                            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

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