If I understand what you are talking about is not what I’m talking about.
I can not control what Android should do from Whatsapp because is not my App, i would love but no.

What i mean is the user will click a link (any url of any website) from Whatsapp it self, then Android propose to open it with my App because Android think my app is a webviewer probably because i use a webviewer (CustomWebviewer extension) inside.

There is a modified version of the Custom WebView extension that doesn’t add your app in the browser list , you can find it in the GitHub repo:
