Thanks for sharing your application.

When clicking URL's could I have the option of opening with my default browser?

I would expect and option in the application to allow me to choose the native browser or default that I have choose. (Eg Brave)

Especially since the built in browser doesn't even seem to respect my default web view, so pages opened with it are ad-infested.

I also wonder about the security implications - what rendering engine does it use?

This is a huge deal for me too! It allows the user to curate their viewing/reading experience even further.

Seems to have been added in the latest update which is now live on Google Play!

Confirmed.
