Description

At least when using Vanadium on GrapheneOS, no reddit link ever works, but they work fine from other apps (at least from Signal it works with no issues). It just opens up the reddit website within the browser, it doesn't matter if I have a VPN on or not. I've ensured all the links are checked within the Open by default section.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a Reddit link opened from RedReader on GrapheneOS with Vanadium, with VPN disabled and the Open by default settings checked. Compare the behavior with the reported Signal case and trace the Android link-opening entry point; done means Reddit links open as expected instead of only loading the Reddit website in the browser.
