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’ve got it, it seems to not engage when I follow links from other apps on mobile.

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.echodot@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
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.

If you’re using webview on Android it’s because it uses Chrome still

Not if you have your default browser set to Firefox

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

I guess it depends on whether the app embeds the default browser or is hardcoded to use webview. I don’t know many apps that will trigger a load of random sites that do the latter, though.
