It’s the only browser I have installed besides Safari, and my default browser but instead of just opening the link with my default browser, it advertises these other browsers to me and makes me click ‘Default browser app’ by default. wtf I’ll be turning that off, should have never been a feature.

Does iOS not have like a “default Apps” system?

  It does. And Firefox is my default browser app.

    So if Firefox is your default, what happens when you tap that “open with default app” button at the bottom?

  I don’t believe “calendar” is an option for default apps iirc

I hate Apple as much as the next guy but this is some next level complaining.

Step 1: Select “Open with Default.”

Step 2: Accept that the mere suggestion that you use literally any option that’s not your preference isn’t a personal attack and the end of the FOSS world.

Step 3: Profit.

…OK? This is a pretty standard prompt in most OS. Not sure why this is such a huge deal.

  Except the OP doesn’t have chrome installed the options should be Firefox, Safari, Open with default.

At least you can uncheck “ask me every time”

Set Firefox as your default browser by going to Settings > Firefox > Default Browser App.

Also, by adding your Gmail to iOS, you can get your Google calendars through the Apple Calendar app.

Blame Apple. This is from when Safari was forced to be the default in all cases, so they hard coded their other browsers to open the link. The possibility to set another browser as default is pretty new, probably Google is waiting to switch to the new API or otherwise people with iPhone 7 or older wouldn’t be able to run the app anymore (no more updates for them)

    Maybe it’s not possible to access the new API entirely if you don’t target the latest iOS
