IMO the recent change to open links in an embedded web view is a usability regression. First, I strongly prefer to read web pages in a proper browser, with the affordances that the browser gives me, like the URL bar, bookmarks, read later functionality, etc. Second, many web pages do not render correctly in Newsblur’s embedded viewer. Third, I trust my browser’s sandbox more than I trust Newsblur’s. Finally, I sometimes want to let Android intents handle the link.
An option to disable opening links inside the Newsblur app would be appreciated.
