Open external links in the system default browser
I previously opened issue #455 regarding this behavior:
https://github.com/lencx/Noi/issues/455
The issue has now been closed, but I would like to insist on this feature request because the underlying problem remains.
When clicking an external link inside a ChatGPT response in Noi, the link is opened in Noi's integrated browser instead of the user's default system browser.
For users who use Noi as an AI client rather than as their primary web browser, this is inconvenient and creates an unnecessary extra step.
Suggested solution
Please add a setting allowing users to choose how external links are handled, for example:
- Open external links in the default system browser
- Open external links inside Noi
- Ask each time
Alternatively, a contextual option such as:
Open in default browserOpen in NoiCopy link
would already solve the problem.
On macOS, the expected behavior would be to open the link using the user's configured default browser, such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.
I understand that Noi includes an integrated browser, but this should ideally be a user preference rather than a behavior that cannot be changed.
Could you please clarify why issue #455 was closed and whether support for opening external links in the system browser is planned?
Thank you for your work on Noi.
