Ratings and reviews

I used to have the option to open links in the browser by default but now they only open in the app unless I go down to the kebob menu and click view original webpage. This is already annoying, but what makes it super annoying is that first, the stories open much more slowly on the app, and second, they're are often visualizations or other features that don't work in the app. I'm currently looking for a replacement to this app, which I've used for years.

I used this app for years, but just uninstalled it due to the huge number of ads. Many of the ads cover content and despite having an "x" suggesting it can be closed, when you try to close it, it takes you to the ad's page. It is worth noting, that these are ads generated by the app, and not the actual content 's page.

Same news every day, plus they disabled at the setting that allows you to automatically open links in a browser, trying to force you to stay within their app, but its super frustrating bc none of my logins are saved on Google News, only in my preferred browser, putting so freaking many button presses between you and opening their article in the proper application that it quickly it discourages you from using the app at all. That and the constant ads and constant demands to log in.. Maddening.
