Android app doesn't use browser inside the app any more, launches site in full browser

Did some digging on this, and came across the following:

https://community.tt-rss.org/t/dont-hardcode-chrome-when-opening-custom-tabs/319
https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss-android/src/branch/master/org.fox.ttrss/src/main/java/org/fox/ttrss/CommonActivity.java#L97

and here’s an implementation that correctly uses Firefox custom tabs on my device:

github.com

Haptic-Apps/Slide/blob/f4baa3ffaf585c2eee63fe34ba61aad24d28f339/app/src/main/java/me/ccrama/redditslide/util/CustomTabsHelper.java#L51


      
          static final String LOCAL_PACKAGE = "com.google.android.apps.chrome";

          private static final String EXTRA_CUSTOM_TABS_KEEP_ALIVE =

                  "android.support.customtabs.extra.KEEP_ALIVE";

          private static final String ACTION_CUSTOM_TABS_CONNECTION =

                  "android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService";

          

          private static String sPackageNameToUse;

          

          private CustomTabsHelper() {}

          

          /**

           * Goes through all apps that handle VIEW intents and have a warmup service. Picks

           * the one chosen by the user if there is one, otherwise makes a best effort to return a

           * valid package name.

           *

           * This is <strong>not</strong> threadsafe.

           *

           * @param context {@link Context} to use for accessing {@link PackageManager}.

           * @return The package name recommended to use for connecting to custom tabs related components.

           */

          public static String getPackageNameToUse(Context context) {

So could you re-add it with this extra detection, which would remove the Chrome dependency properly and make the app useful again?
