//clicks the link and reads it in the Mlem in-app browser
Clicks the link, and mlem opens the site in FF focus that deletes all cookies when I close it.
Mlem in app browser is using an in app browser API that is secure by design. It doesn’t allow snooping or injecting anything. This article is talking about abusive apps like Facebook that roll their own in app browser.
Edit: although on iOS, the secure iOS in app browser api is always using safari engine, so the user choice argument is still valid.
Yeah, I’m not actually too concerned about the Mlem built-in on iOS. I do try to avoid the one in Facebook/Instagram and move anything I actually want to do to my real browser. I just mainly thought it was funny in the moment.
