I dislike the idea of clicking a link in a Kbin app, which opens the link separately in a browser app, then closing the tab, then closing the browser app, then going back to the Kbin app.

I know it’s different, but Reddit’s Relay had such a function.

    I didn’t know there were any apps for kbin, but using a browser to begin with, it seems pretty seamless. The link opens, then I hit back and I am back at the thread.

    I did see after looking aroind that Artemis has an app, is that what you are using?

        What browser are you using? I am using a Firefox fork and it basically does what you want, I don’t need to specifically close the tab.

            Mull doesn’t open the link in a new tab for me if you are interested in trying a different browser. Or you could try Artemis but I have no experience with that.

                So far as I know, Artemis is an app for kbin. I don’t k ow how it handles links tho. It may open them in the app (which I believe is what you want) or it may open them in a browser (which sounds like what you are experiencing now).

                What are you using to browse kbin that opens these tabs? Vivaldi?

                  I haven’t used kbin on my phone yet.
                  Only on the computer.

                  Just downloaded the app.
                  It seems that kbin is locked within. Google said something about open beta incoming.
                  So I cannot test the browser thing yet.
