Feature: Open in Browser by default

[jez]

Some of the sites I read have particularly specialized formatting (for example: code syntax highlighting, interactive diagrams, comment sections, etc.) so that I know I’ll want to open the article straight into the browser.

(I use the iOS version.)

Currently I do this by long pressing on the article in the timeline view and selecting “Open in Browser.”

But since this is so common for me on certain sites, I’d love if there was a way to flip the default: to make tapping on the item in the timeline view behave like the “Open in Browser” item, and have the long press menu show something like “Open in NetNewsWire”

I’d be fine with having this option be configured either per feed or globally if the implementation is too hard to do per feed.

Note: I’m NOT asking about the “Open Links in NetNewsWire” toggle, which only affects where links inside an article get opened. I’m interested in what happens for the article itself.

This would be cool as an feed-specific option

+1 this is my number one on the wishlist for the ios app - its a perfect feed reader for people with a lot of feeds but when I browse my feed I just want a way to quickly open them "in the background" in Safari and then move on

Just want to add on some of the implementations I see in other apps. They have an option to open links directly (i.e. open the webpage directly, either in WebView or default browser) and an option to open inside the app or in default browser.
