Disable automatic opening of Browser with NFC tag

sebastianha

Currently, when I put a NFC tag on the phone which contains a http(s) URL it automatically opens the web browser without asking the user.

Is there any way to disable this (but keep NFC on)? I think this is really a security concern because you have no chance to decide if you really want to open the page. Normally I use Link Eye (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/kuesji.link_eye.fdroid/) to intercept links but this does not work in this case. The default browser opens automatically and loads the page.

I'm unsure this is possible. Vanadium is the default browser, so of course it will open any http/https resource by default.

You're saying link eye did this for you previously? I'm not sure how that's even possible since Android is strict about which apps it opens links with.

unwat No, Link Eye only works when clicking on a link in e.g. Signal or any other app. I configured Link Eye as default browser. But NFC URLs seem to be handled differently.
