It’s the only browser I have installed besides Safari, and my default browser but instead of just opening the link with my default browser, it advertises these other browsers to me and makes me click ‘Default browser app’ by default. wtf I’ll be turning that off, should have never been a feature.

    Does iOS not have like a “default Apps” system?

          Predatory design for non techy people. It’s a deliberate decision to put that as the most uninviting option. Also creates doubt in the user by not showing any logo/icon

            Also, it’s turned on the ask me every time option so you’re likely to be asked a few times as you’re likely to just hit the option you want before realising that there’s a way to turn it off.

            It makes the choices look strange though. You see the Google suggestions and the Apple suggestions even though those aren’t the default. This is that walled garden in action on both Apple and Google’s side.

              Sure, but saying it won’t work with Firefox at all is inaccurate. I hate this menu, but it’s incorrect to say it doesn’t give the option of using Firefox.

              Does it matter at the end of the day? If I understand this correctly all browsers on iOS use the Safari engine, and it is not like OP can’t open FF from there.

      I don’t believe “calendar” is an option for default apps iirc (someone correct me if I’m wrong)

    Set Firefox as your default browser by going to Settings > Firefox > Default Browser App.

    Also, by adding your Gmail to iOS, you can get your Google calendars through the Apple Calendar app.

    I hate Apple as much as the next guy but this is some next level complaining.

    Step 1: Select “Open with Default.”

    Step 2: Accept that the mere suggestion that you use literally any option that’s not your preference isn’t a personal attack and the end of the FOSS world.

    Step 3: Profit.

    Blame Apple. This is from when Safari was forced to be the default in all cases, so Google hard coded their other browsers to open the link. The possibility to set another browser as default is pretty new, probably Google is waiting to switch to the new API or otherwise people with iPhone 7 or older wouldn’t be able to run the app anymore (no more updates for them)
