. However, the app now seems to have a bug on some Galaxy phones.

The web browser from Samsung seems to be suffering a bug that forces it to hijack custom tabs (browser windows inside apps like Twitter). Even when an app other than Samsung Internet is set as the default web browser of the device, Samsung’s web browser seems to be taking over while opening links inside third-party apps. For example, even if Google Chrome is set as the default web browser on a Galaxy device, clicking on a link inside an app opens Samsung Internet.

The same issue seems to be happening when a link is highlighted or when the ‘open in’ option is selected from the long-press menu. This problem is appearing on some Galaxy S20 units, and we are not sure if it appears on other Galaxy phones. The exact reason behind this problem isn’t known right now, but Samsung’s implementation of custom tabs on some of its phones may be buggy.
