I have this app URLCheck from f-droid that intercepts all links i click and l3t me clean all the parameters and so. I can also use it to share from so I can always clean the links before sharing.
The only app that dosen’t work well is soundcloud that the tracking parameter is not recognized as so and I need to manual add characters to contaminate the parameter
Yeah, I have that as my default browser. It’s great! I just wish certain apps like Discord wouldn’t bypass my default browser and open YouTube links directly in the YouTube app. I have to copy them first, and it’s a nuisance.
When I set it as default browser any links I click within Firefox will also open in urlcheck instead of Firefox navigating to that link, any way to avoid that?

Also came in to recommend URLCheck! Fantastic tool, everyone should use it.

Selecting In your Browser should do it. Some apps declares what urls it can handle in manifest and opens that app directly without consulting browser
I just tried that. (With the YouTube app, not Google Play, like in your screenshot.)
It didn’t help. Clicking a YouTube link in Discord still opens it in the YouTube app.

I have never had that problem, so I don’t have any ideas. Sorry.
I love that app! You can also add custom rules, the soundcloud thing shouldn’t be that hard to get rid of.
Hou do you add the xustom rules?
Open the URLCheck app > Modules > Pattern checker > JSON Editor
There’s also Léon the URL Cleaner, which is pretty good.
