I just did the multi view update today and I have noticed that If i click on a youtube link in Facebook or Twitter that the "Complete Action Using---" dialog box that pops up no longer has the youtube app as an option. It only give me browser options to select. I know before this update i was able to link out to the youtube app.

I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.
Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.
I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.

...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.
Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.
It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.
I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.
Hope this helps.
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.
Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!
Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?
That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.

Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.

How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?
For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.

Just read this article on android guys. There pre-release version of facebook home is available now.
Step 1. Uninstall Facebook and Facebook messenger if they are already installed. This is required coz the leaked build is running on test keys rather than release keys.
Step 2. Download 3 APKs:
Install all 3 APKs in no particular sequence using any File manager.
Step 3. Press home button and default to fAcebook Home launcher. You’ll be required to sign-in the first time.
Please be patient while Facebook loads your stream and photos during first launch.
Recommended: You can tinker with settings and play with options like making the Notification bar visible at all times or not. Even when its hidden, a downward gesture from top of the screen brings notification panel down.
EDIT: Other two files are too big to attach here

it seems FB blocked the this leaked app, it can't stream anymore, just black background.
Downloaded and installed, isn't working for me either. I get a black screen and the words:
"Find me on the builds page"

Facebook blocked the app server side. I'm afraid you can't use it anymore.

Is there a way to disable it? It's garbage. Is there a way to force links to open in default browser without having to select "open in browser" from the drop down menu?

I agree - I receive job notifications all day via text w/ links in them and on my Note 4 it worked fine, but on my new Note 7 it opens what I presume is a Webview minibrowser that only partially loads, I then had to use the drop down menu to load it into Chrome, which reloaded the page, which finally opened the link into the app that it was associated with in the system to begin with - WTH?!?!
So the only fix I found was to replace the stock app with the Google messaging app -
S9 user here on Oreo. YouTube Premium (previously called red) member, based in the US.
Pip works on maps just fine, but when I press the home button on YouTube, nothing. Sound still plays and notifications controls show, but no floating window.
The setting on YouTube under general for pip is off and greyed out (so I can't change it) - see attached
I chatted to Google YouTube help but ultimately they tried and said contact Samsung...
Thoughts?
Samsung stock gallery app has usefull feature such as auto play video without open it with some video player.
But sometimes auto play not working & you need to press 'play video' button to watch it.
I found a condition this could happen
On twitter app just view a tweet contain video
Press home button, then get back to gallery app
Tap some video in your gallery...done !
Auto play now not working
