Voyager stopped opening in links in Firefox?

Did an update get pushed changing this is behavior? previously I have voyager set up to open all links in Firefox. I did t change anything but now it wants to open up everything in YT app. I use Firefox for ad blocker.

I am having a similar issue using my preferred browser. Why can’t I use it and have YouTube links open in my browser? I’m positive this used to work. Now I get this:

Are you using android or iOS? Can you install older versions to see when it stopped working for you?

I’m on iOS.

I think I may have an older version on my old phone, I’ll check that and report back

So, the old phone is on iOS 17 (vs 18 on new) and Voyager 12.18.2. YouTube links do open in Orion. Oddly, the setting for Prefer native Apps is selected, and gives the same warning as the newer version. I wonder if I did something to force the links into Orion and just can’t remember what it was. If I figure it out I’ll report back again (I really dislike having to open links in YouTube app, I nearly always close it before the first ad even finishes).

The warning says “Currently” as if there may be a possibility to enable the setting in the future—is there any work towards that being done?

Thanks for the great app btw.
