I appreciated how the reddit app I used (relay) kept everything internal. I don’t want all the links I open on this app opening in my browser and plugging up my history. I doubly appreciated how it would open YouTube links in an internal video player that wasn’t linked to my YouTube account in any way. This is a must have for me to prevent my YouTube “algorithm” from getting any ideas. For example, I watch a video about “X” and now my whole feed is suggesting I watch more videos about whatever “X” was.

    Same for image links, I don’t like switching to my browser every time I want to look at an image.

      The alpha build included a community contribution that opens significantly more image links directly in-app.

      arguably it’s just a stopgap solution, but i really like quickib for viewing image links

      it’s meant as an imgur uploader, but it works as a viewer (not open source though)
