Hey all, new here and learning to find my way around Lemmy. I noticed that everything I do in Jerboa is showing up in my Chrome history. How do I make that stop?

Yeah, I agree that sounds pretty scummy, especially since it isn't spelled out anywhere. In the short term, I imagine you could disable the history through Chrome, or whatever you're using as your default browser. I have been using the web version for now, since Jerboa still needs a ton of work. I just set up a direct link to my instance on my Android phone screen.

Unfortunate. Seems like it'd be a hassle to use Lemmy the way I want, or I'd have to change how I use my browser.

How's it scummy? Isn't this just how Android WebView works?
