        If you’re using Graphene sure, but as far as I’m aware you can’t change webview on stock Android (doesn’t even show Geckoview in the options for WebView in the developer settings

    At least on Android you can configure whether or not apps use their inbuilt webview or just redirect to the proper browser. That feature probably doesn’t exist on iOS because Apple have opinions about customizability, and it’s that you shouldn’t have any.

      I’m on Android. You’ve motivated me to dig up that setting and change it. I had assumed that each application handled that individually.
      Mm. Looks like Android also has that locked down these days. We need a viable Linux phone.

        What skin you want because it may be something that you can change if you are on a different skin but I’ve definitely been able to change it so it’s a browser of my choice.

  The problem is people who use these then unknowingly propagate these unusable websites.

  It’s gotten so ridiculous that often a bad website is blamed on the user for not having a properly customized webrowser. This is despite not everyone is able to set up these blocking tools.
