<![CDATA[Open Youtube links in the app]]>Hello,

Opera is my favourite browser on Android, especially with the last feature you added: Force enable zoom, that's just awesome.

One thing that I find REALLY annoying though are the Youtube videos that are directly played in the browser instead of the app.

Couldn't you add an option so we can open the Youtube links in the app as it is way more convenient to watch the videos and read the comments with the app.

I looked up the forums but except fiddling with the user agent or the off road settings, I didn't find anything conclusive.

Thank you.

That and the fact that the LastPass app can't fill in logins as with chrome (with opera you can only copy the password or username) is the only reason I haven't done a full switch.

I 've uninstalled all unnecessary apps like YouTube consuming precious space. Besides comments are being shown at the bottom of each video.

It also has a good line break and turbo, the handling is fine and it opens links with the right external apps. Combined it with the desktop version, which replaced Chrome.

This happens also with Playstore links: they open in the web version inside opera.

The YouTube mobile site is terrible, and so is the playstore web version.

Please, add an option to open these links in their native app!

Opera for Android not launching YouTube (and other external apps) is the ONLY thing that keeps Opera from completely replacing Chrome for me.

I tend to open links from Twitter and see this. Somehow using chrome opens YouTube app, so this could be something that could be done as well.

I prefer Opera as browser on Android, but want to watch YouTube-videos within the YT app, it simply works better.
Thanks for at least giving us the option.
