Open some links in external browser?
Some webpages block being loaded in an iframe so they dont work in the browser. It would be cool if you should specify a pattern of URLs that should be opened in the default external browser instead.
@abdulajet
Thank you for your suggestion
Instead of the need to specify a pattern of URLs that should be opened in the default external browser
I have another idea. Do you think it is better or it does not meet your needs?
- In case the link doesn't work, then a dialog or a UI that shows "click to open in external browser`
I think it is easier to use. What do you think about this?
Sorry for the long response time, i think that would work. The only issue is that it will navigate them away from the working page, to a broken page then show the popup. So people will see the broken page.
So I think both should be good? That way if you see a broken page you can add it to the URL list that needs to be opened externally
@abdulajet That interesting. I have never thought of this before 😂 I will try it and maybe add a setting to choose between these ideas Thanks!
@Phu1237 what is the expected behaviour for a link that is supposed to open in a new tab? e.g.
<a href="https://www.google.com" target="_blank">
@abdulajet That seems a good idea but I think the iframe won't let me inject code into it (to catch click and send the event back to the extension to open in a new tab) I will try it in the new version If I can't implement this, it will be on my todo list when I find a way to bypass the cors Thank for your good idea ✨
@abdulajet Sorry for the late response. I have some problems with my PC so I can't test it Answer to your question: Nothing happens when clicking the link Same as:
-
_parent -
_top(This will throw an error to the console)
Still direct in vs browser:
-
_self
I hope this information is useful to you Thanks!
