Auto-Link Brave URLs in Twitter and Elsewhere
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Where appropriate, text-nodes with brave://* patterns could be converted into clickable links. For example, Twitter automatically converts https://* into a clickable link, but does nothing for brave://*. Converting these text nodes to clickable links would be helpful as users could simply click to reach the desired resource.
From a support perspective, it is not uncommon to ask a user to "visit brave://rewards" and wind up having to explain to the user that this is a URL, which can be copied and pasted into their address bar.
This would only make sense where URL patterns are already converted. It would not be necessary to support platforms and sites where this automatic conversion does not already take place.
We could limit the linkable-paths to only a sensible list (e.g. rewards, settings, version).
Closing, as this doesn't seem worth the added risk. Probably best that internal resources are not auto-linked.
