Pretty much the title. I’d love it if I could use Firefox or even an incognito mode as a default browser.

That is literally an entire menu in the settings.

Settings shortcut: Settings > Link handling

For anyone else who was curious how in the hell they linked directly to the settings page: you can long-press any specific menu item in settings and it will automatically add the code for linking directly to your clipboard!

It should already be the case.

It will use your default browser, even for custom tabs (as firefox does offer its own implementation).

For incognito the option exists if you use chrome based on a flag but not sure firefox offers the same possiblity

You have to know on some level that an android emulator on PC is a niche use case.

Bruh, it’s in alpha. Brand new. Native Android is the priority.

Pretty sure Sync does not have x86 support, so desktop emulators would be a dead end outside of Android Studio…

The last physical x86 android device that I’m aware of was released in 2015 too, so maybe not worth bloating up the APK to support a niche use case like the emulator and a 2015 Zenfone whose NAND storage is likely on it’s last legs by now.

IMO pick a non-gesture based app that will be more usable on a desktop, Infinity could fit better if you’re looking for more apps to try

There are other Android emulators that support running ARM binaries on x86 machines such as the official Android emulator from Android SDK.
