Jerboa 0.0.84 seems to blindly try to force-open this webpage as a PDF document, when it needs to actually open it up as a webpage for the age verification HTML script. (lemmy.world)

This link drove me nuts last night, until I stopped tapping the link in Jerboa and instead copy/pasted the link directly into Fennec web browser.

If this bug has been resolved in a newer version of Jerboa, well just let me know and I'll make a point to update later.

Recent apps? Idk, you may have a button or more likely a gesture, idk what you call it. One is home button, one is recent apps, and one is back button. Order may vary.

No gestures on my devices at all.

Yes, I do have Back, Home, and Recent App buttons on my tablet (and phone even), in that order no less.

None of those help with this situation though. Like, when I tap the link from justice.gov, I'm never presented with any option as to what app to open it with.. ☹️

Fuck I dunno, and I don't really expect you to pull a magic answer out of your ass either. But I really do thank you kindly for being helpful 👍

Right, but after you click, something opens, after that when you hit the recent apps button what app icon is shown?

That's the entire point, it doesn't present any menu of apps at all.

It just force feeds it through the last registered PDF app, no menu of optional apps at all.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
