No, you're *invoking the user's browser to navigate on their behalf*. The honest thing would just be to intent out, but FB doesn't do that...so here we are.

So intent out. Do the honest thing and stop subverting user clicks to the web. Stop dressing it up in your app's UI. Show them what's happening.

That's a great feature request. Something one could imagine us doing. That said, the onus is on FB to fix this, probably by intenting out to browser until they get their house in order and make a list of required features available for discussion.

This perspective is super confusing. Do you think that apps, as a general matter, should not send links to user's default browser?

I can imagine a coherent worldview that says "all UI that apps provide should be satisfied within the app and intents should never take the user out"; that would create the concern I hear you articulating. But that's not how Android works by default, certainly not about the web.

So either you're pushing a view that is out of step with a decade of Android system behavior....or do I misunderstand?
