By doing this, web links will no longer open in Gmail’s in-app browser but instead will open in your default browser.


Reasons to turn off Gmail’s in-app browser on Android

Using the default browser instead of Gmail’s in-app browser has many benefits. For example: 

1. You can create a bookmark of the links and save the web content to view later.

2. If you use the same web browser as default on multiple devices, you can sync all your browsing data.

3. If you need to verify the link’s content or browse other things, you can easily do it with the default browser using the multiple tab feature. 

4. Using the default browser allows you to have greater control over your privacy and security preferences. This includes managing settings such as cookies, permissions, tracking, and other related options.


Final words

If you didn’t know how to turn off Gmail’s in-app browser, then you know now. For someone seeks for a flexible browsing experience, this feature may come out as a hindrance. But if you just want to view the link’s content, then you may find this feature useful. Either way, it would still be better to use the default browser.
