How do I make "Open Link in Default Browser" the default? / Gmail links opening in a new window
complete
Benigno (Ben) Riga
The clicking of links in Station have been driving me crazy. It used work work
well but over time it has just gotten worse. I find myself constantly clicking
a link then closing the blank window that gets opened. and then having to go
back and right-click the link again and use the “Open Link in Default Browser”
option. This is a productivity suck and a constant annoyance that pulls me out
of my flow. I thought I might get used to it but after months I have not.
Right-clicking to open a link is just not natural. I will never learn to do
that. How do I change that function? Is there a config switch somewhere to
change the behavior or something?
Thanks,
Ben

+1. Would be nice to have a global setting. Or atleast the app should learn:
These domains shall be opened in station:

How is this complete? Link behavior is still awful. I don't want to right click as in https://faq.getstation.com/en/articles/1217168-how-do-i-open-a-link-in-my-default-browser

Links for Github are now opening tiny windows

I previously was able to click a Github link in Gmail and be directed to the Github app and appropriate URL, but now the page opens in a small external window. This is since restarting Station yesterday.

Great news, we've fixed the issue! Simply update your Station (Preferences → Check for updates) and make sure you are on the 1.63.4

Julien Berthomier: Got this email in Gmail... AND IT WORKS. Thanks for fixing.

Julien Berthomier: Gmail works now for me. Thx!
But what about the other apps? Links from Google Chat open still in such a popup window...
(I'm new to station, but can't find an option to configure that...)

Joachim Seibert: Indeed we have fixed Gmail links but it's possible it's still happening in other apps. We are investigating it and will keep you updated! Apologize for the inconvenience.

Julien Berthomier: Woohoo! I just updated and it works on my end. Thanks Station team!
Angel Lacret
Julien Berthomier: Is working now thanks!. However, the response time is significant slower than before, and also slower than right click and select the OPEN IN DEFAULT BROWSER option

Julien Berthomier: This bug seems to have manifested into another issue somehow:

Gmail links opening in a new window

Hi!
Every time I click on a link from my Gmail account, it opens a new very tiny Chrome window instead of opening a new tab in my actual Chrome browser. Which is very annoying :)
