Link opening behavior different from other apps. Easy to accidentally opening links in video description or comments

[LethalStarfish]

What happened?

It's very easy to accidentally open links in YouTube comments or the video description.

I think this may be because links open on press rather than release, but not sure.

I constantly find myself swiping past a comment or the description and accidentally opening a link in the process. I do not have this issue with any other apps.

Would be great if this could be adjusted to match the behavior of other apps!

Almost seems like the app captures the first tap immediately and doesn't wait for a tap end or something similar? (Bypassing gesture and other events)

[PhilC813]

As soon as a URL is touched, it opens, so it is triggered if you happen to start a swipe up/down over a URL.

@grayjay-support-FUTO shouldn't this be labeled as a bug instead? It's not a standard behaviour st all.

Fixed, we are already looking into this although I'm not sure if the fix will land in next release.
