Browsing Lemmy in Jerboa Shows In Chrome History? (lemmy.one)

Hey all, new here and learning to find my way around Lemmy. I noticed that everything I do in Jerboa is showing up in my Chrome history. How do I make that stop?

Hmm. I do have Firefox installed but I don't see any way to move the history there (and frankly I don't want that either). That is disappointing, may be a deal breaker for Lemmy for me.

Really? Why? It's the browsing history of your phone, who is going to look at it?

Presumably nobody, but I don't want to keep a record of it regardless. Only option I see to accomplish that would be to login manually from an incognito browser every time, and that sounds like a hassle.

I mean it's fine to feel this way, but it's an app in alpha. It doesn't have the resources to have an in-app browser. It's not like they are doing something shady.

Yeah, I agree that sounds pretty scummy, especially since it isn't spelled out anywhere. In the short term, I imagine you could disable the history through Chrome, or whatever you're using as your default browser. I have been using the web version for now, since Jerboa still needs a ton of work. I just set up a direct link to my instance on my Android phone screen.
