[Feature Request] open links inside the app with your main browser

[BluePixel4k]

Possibility to open links directly inside the León app via the CustomTabsIntent function. Chromium and Gecko based browser supporting this.

Benefit: the links get open faster, because not the full browser has to be loaded.

Information about this function: https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/browser/customtabs/CustomTabsIntent

And an example code from another application: https://github.com/bubelov/news/commit/38baca3fd2850a74209082271e0b25efcfd6b502

Thx in advance! :)

Interestingly Leon had this feature which was called "Verify", which however was removed in this PR to solve this issue.

So what do we do know? 🤔

[BluePixel4k]

Oh okay. Maybe you can add this feature again as an option via something like this (Open URL via custom tab):

[svenjacobs]

That's a good idea. I will probably add another switch "Open URL via custom tab" (instead of a new Action option) which generally works for the open button and the "Action after clean".

[BluePixel4k]

That would be awesome, thank you!

@svenjacobs any news on this? :)

[svenjacobs]

@BluePixel4k Unfortunately I didn't find much time in the last months to work on Leon 😞 Hopefully soon! 🤞🏼

This has been implemented in #407 and will be available with the next release.

Awesome, thank you! 🥳
