You might be able to go into the settings and set it to use your default browser instead of using their own.

Nope.. there's no setting for that in Voyager. I've been down this path before, and someone sent a screenshot showing that option but it seems to only exist on the IOS lemmy build, not Android

Edit: I meant voyager, not lemmy

Edit2: the option is missing from the PWA version of voyager - install the play store Android app instead.

It's in voyager for Android. I don't think I could survive life without my default browser.

Can you tell me where that setting is in voyager, because I've just been through the settings and I don't see it.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure. It's under general->other

Uh.. that's not what I see ? I have two options missing:

Voyager 2.45.1

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Well that's weird. I may have turned on advanced settings somewhere. I'll have a look.

Edit: what version are you on?

I'm on 2.45.1 but I've had that functionality a long time.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I figured it out. I had the webapp (pwa) version installed from the voyager website, which runs within your browser but otherwise looks identical

I've now installed the voyager Android app from the play store and the missing options now show up

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Ah sweet. Glad you're sorted! What a difference it makes.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Replying separately so you get the notification. Went through all the settings and I don't see any reason for yours to be different.

The only thing I can think of is that I installed mine from f-droid instead of the play store.

Other than that I'm stumped.

Jerboa on Android definitely has that option, also DNS based adblockers would work for any in-app browser

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Which app are you using? I got Connect to link to Vivaldi.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry I meant voyager, not lemmy in general

It's okay. Thanks for clarifying!
