Facebook Mobile (embedded browser)

[alphaomega]

Just updated the facebook app on my android device.

I notice it has an embedded browser.

Do you like the new feature or dislike it?

Vote Yea/Nay.

Just curious what other people think.

 

I dislike it. I prefer to pick a browser depending on what site the link goes to. Some sites still use flash so I choose a browser that supports flash.

 

Edit:

Now I'm not so sure if this is a "new feature" that came with the latest update.

After the update links in Facebook Mobile were opening up in Facebook Mobile.

After a couple of hours I'm back to getting the prompt for which browser to use.

Maybe, N/A or No Applicable should have been on the poll for those who have no opinion or do not do Facebook?

done. thanks for the suggestion.

 

I'm not finding much about it online.

Only one mention about it in the app's reviews.

 

I wonder if it's something that is going to be implemented in the future.

 

For me, after the last two updates links would open in the mobile app

instead of opening in the browser.

 

Then it was like they flipped a switch on their end and links were

again opening in the browser.

Thank goodness they added an on/off setting.
