Are you unable to bookmark or share the web pages, opened in your Facebook app or you are not getting any options to open it in your favorite browser?
If this then you have got an update from Facebook, which is under beta feature that Facebook is currently testing randomly with users. With this update, Facebook for Android has started opening website links in its own internal browser rather than loading them in the device default browser. Most of the people are enjoying this update because it's working faster and smoother. It is probably doing so because it doesn’t want to bother its users by directing them to other browser when you click the links shared in it, but still, for some users this may be annoying since most of us are used to open the links in our Android smartphone’s default browser.
No doubt, it's good to use its own internal browser. But practically, if you are interested to bookmark or want to share, even YouTube videos are also opening in the same browser. Means there are many reasons, why you should not want to use its internal browser. While Facebook is providing an option to change the browser from its internal browser at the top right of the app, but that's not suitable for many users.
Now you are free to use your favorite browser. You can open all external links in your main browser. Actually Facebook's in-app browser is not bad
