Browsing Lemmy in Jerboa Shows In Chrome History? (lemmy.one)

Hey all, new here and learning to find my way around Lemmy. I noticed that everything I do in Jerboa is showing up in my Chrome history. How do I make that stop?

Why not turn off history of you don't want history being tracked?

Jerboa likely uses webviews to display web content. WebViews on Android are shown by chrome by default. If you install Firefox you might be able to choose it to display webviews but it will still end up in history there. I don't think you can make it stop, maybe the dev can.

Woah, that might explain why it has been throwing so many errors for me - I'm using Brave as my default web browser.

Hmm. I do have Firefox installed but I don't see any way to move the history there (and frankly I don't want that either). That is disappointing, may be a deal breaker for Lemmy for me.

The problem lies with Jerboa, not lemmy.

True, but my alternative option would be browsing Lemmy in my browser and I have the same end result.
