Re: Facebook App and Its Web Browser

[Jonathan Cohn]

Well, in my current version of Facebook there is still a way to do this. In the upper right hand corner, you should find a more options button.Press this and one of the items will be “Open in external browser”. I believe this used to say “Open in Safari” Sent from my iPhone On May 7, 2024, at 4:42 PM, lang...@gmail.com wrote:  Hi folks, While using the Facebook app, I often encounter posts which will direct me to various web pages which are often riddled with ads.  Needless to say, this can be a major pain to have to wade through. If the page is exceedingly large and overrun with ads, things can get hopelessly bogged down and I have to close the page. I’d much rather use Safari with its Reader View which strips out the ads and offers a smoother reading experience. Is there a way to tell  IOS or the Facebook app that I don’t want to use Facebook’s internal browser? If so, how can I do that? BTW, I’d rather not use the Mobile Facebook web site.  Suggestions are welcome.
