        Pictures are better than words

        My current settings

        Internal browser on OP’s link

        Device browser (Firefox) on OP’s link

        Whatever internal browser Sync is using, it isn’t Firefox. My default browser on my device is Firefox.

          I thought about in the Android settings:

          Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Browser app

          But, Sync could directly call the Chrome package name (hard coded), which would be a d*ck move and shit design.

          Normally, Android uses as “Custom tab” the default browser in the Android Settings.

            ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ dunno how it’s coded but i figured the pictures could help clarify. It’s probably part of the reason you see some on here complain about ads on linked websites. I will say that it makes me appreciate FF and UBO even more. The current state of the Web is pretty shite

              The screenshots helped. I have Sync for Reddit installed on my phone, and the app opens Firefox without asking which browser I want to use. I don’t have a default browser and uninstalled Chrome.

              This behavior with your screenshots made me think about hard coded method to call Chrome custom tab. It can also be how Android handles browsers.
