oh no computer posted:I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox so that I can install uBlock. All working great, except for the fact that now Chrome isn't my default browser any more, any links to Twitter from another app, (e.g. awful app or discord) now open in a Firefox window instead of the Twitter PWA. Go into settings, apps, pick firefox, there's a section for opening urls with that app that requires you specify what opens with the app. From what I understand google messed with the ability of apps to set their own open-with settings to combat malicious apps. I just had to redo this with my twitter app. I have no idea what causes it.

No you'd need to go to the twitter app and specify it there This is for flamingo for example

unless i'm in the wrong bit, i don't have that option. I just have Permissions - Autostart - App permissions - Other permissions - Notifications - Battery saver Advanced Settings - Fullscreen mode - Blur app in previews - Install apps from unknown sources - Clear defaults

Skarsnik posted:Ah not android 12 then Hah! cleared defaults and now when I try to open a twitter link and it asks me what to open it with it doesn't give me Twitter as an option, just web browsers (and QPython, for some reason). Apparently no option to pick an app that isn't in the list.

I've never used it but my understanding is that the PWA you get from adding it to the homescreen is the same as twitter lite in the play store Install that and you'll have the proper hooks

That didn't work either  After playing around with a couple of alternative "open with" apps to see if they would let me actually pick an app I have installed to open something with, only to find they don't, I've begrudgingly reinstalled the native Twitter app.Thanks anyway.

 I opened an email via the notification, and now I can no longer go back to my Inbox  There is no back arrow/hamburger menu. The navigation button across the bottom just closes the app  I think I posted about it the other day but the Android Firefox browser sometimes just doesn't render my 3 buttons on the bottom also. I have to pull up the tab picker screen for them to appear. What the gently caress is going on lately. e; a quick Force Stop & relaunch fixed it but still, get your poo poo together Google.

Does anyone know of a good app that I can use to compress videos that is a one-time purchase? Every one I've tried is just so ad-infested it's unusable.

I'm listening to mp3 audiobooks in Pocket Casts because I love the trim silence feature. But, obviously this isn't an app meant for audiobooks so it's a little clunky. Are there any audiobook apps that trim silence?

Came to give a shout out to Via browser. This became my daily driver in less than two days (been using it for a couple weeks now). It is tiny (1.9M apk, 6.65 installed!), it is very light on RAM (currently 162M with 26 tabs), and it is FAST. They describe it as lightweight but it sure isn't lightweight on features, including some very nifty ones that I've never seen in any other browser. It's been 100% stable, and so far it has failed to correctly render only one page (an article on CNN Business). The ad blocking is extremely effective. Even a couple of well known torrent sites haven't been able to slip a pop-up past it. In the past only uBlock has been able to do that for me; not even Blokada (which I swear by). It does data compression (on compatible sites) and it has an option to go back without reloading, which I loving love. So give it a spin. I promise I'm not the dev or in any way affiliated.

Yeah, there's a one-star review from December that talks about them selling user data, but I took a look through the ToS and Privacy Policy (not a lawyer, did a sort of moderate skimming) and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

There's a 1 star review from last December about how it's a great app but it sells your data. Too lazy to do independent research, though.

Privacy issues never crossed my mind, sorry. I'm not using their cloud and I don't really do anything else with it that would be of concern to me, but if you're worried about it, be careful what you store and sniff your own traffic or whatever I guess. I don't know anything about that stuff.

What's the simplest way (is there a simple way?) to forward a text chain to an email address? I can see how to forward individual messages but not an entire chain. Using the standard Messages app.
