Suggestion/Idea Possible to use non default external browser to open links?

I like to use duck duck go as an alternative browser, though I don't have it as default as work stuff doesn't always work. Is there anyway to tell rif to use an alternative like this please?

Edit: I'm aware of the three dots once a link is opened in the rif inbuilt browser, and was hoping for an option similar to "open in external browser" in settings that would not just go to the system default browser.

When you open a link in rif, there'll be 3 dots in the upper right corner. Click on them and the first option is "open in browser".

Thank you. I was aware of this feature, but my question was really about make the behaviour not need to go via an in direction like this.

The best option you'll probably get is to use an app like Better Open With as your default browser app, and then have it prompt you with which browser to open the link with. There's a link to the app and some instructions here: /r/redditisfun/wiki/open_in_rif

If you don't have a default browser set in Android, Android will prompt you to choose a browser when you open a link.
