When in private browsing, you want to keep your browsing history private. However, when you open a link in an associated app, that app will know you visited that post, video, image, etc.
Orion should confirm with the user whether they want to go to the associated app when clicking on a link in private browsing so the user can decline or proceed.
Safari does this in the following popup:
Vlad I was never given a popup like that.
I activated the Reddit default app by going into Settings > Open Links in Apps, went into Private, clicked on a link and was brought to my client without confirmation.
Vlad Nope. It opens just like in private browsing without confirmation. I also tried with other apps, and it does the same.
This is a „universal link“ issue that is similar to our other discussion about URL schemes. However, with URL schemes you do have a choice, which Orion doesn’t handle the right way I would say. There is an article describing the universal link issue.

However, I noticed that the Brave browser handles it correctly.

Open the first link with Orion or Safari opens the Twitter about without prompt, independent if in private mode or not.
Brave does the same but in private mode it doesn’t. That’s how it should be.
