Feature description
Option in Settings > Security > to enable Disable parsing weblinks. When enabled, secondary option to select color of highlighting. Weblinks are shown as simple text in underscore format, highlighted with user's selected colored.
Why do you want this feature?
For security purposes it would be very useful to disable opening weblinks when pressing and only be custom highlighted as simple text.
It is the most common method for installing spyware and malicious software/app from a phishing attack.
It will be very useful for many people who would like to use it in order to protect themselves, even from accidental pressing, for old and young people who lack the concept and experience of security, for journalists, and for anyone may need this safety feature.
