I couldn't agree more. Every day I try to open a link in Facebook, Gmail, Slack, etc. and it opens it inside the app in a half functional WebView control and I have to go dig in the menu to try to get it to open in a full browser just to do whatever I need to do (usually request desktop site, then post some code review comments or squash and merge on github, etc.).
There used to be settings for some of these apps to avoid this. The Google app has a setting that let you skip it for searches entered in the search bar widget on the home screen, for example, but more often than not there's simply no setting to avoid it and you are stuck with the bad behavior for as long as you use the app.
