When opening links in comments, it collapses the comment.

Additionally, links in comments can take 30-60s to open after tapping them. When long pressing and then tapping open in browser, the link opens immediately. Similar behavior observed when opening some link posts - tapping post to open the link can take a while, while directly selecting the option is almost immediate.

This also means that several copies of the link open up and must each individually be closed

I've been trying to figure out that bug for a while. It's not just Boost, I also see it occasionally from Chrome PWAs too. It's like Android is trying to lookup an app to open it into and has to wait for something to timeout before it finally launches it in a browser. It's super weird.

I tried disabling instant apps and other things I could think of that would be involved, nothing seems to fix it. It's so weird.
