Description
Currently on iOS (my usecase) you can toggle an option to open links within the application using a quick safari window or go straight to your default browser. My request would be to be able to specify a browser to open links with.
My current usecase: I open Reddit links in Brave browser because the adblocking ability of Brave is more robust on Reddit than in safari.
