[Bug] Unable to open this type of link

[jxdv]

Describe the bug

Yesterday, I was unable to access certain sites, and kept getting "unable to open this type of link" pop-up.
Restarting DDG / Clearing all data / cache didn't help, I had to restart my phone in order to fix this.

How to Reproduce

1. Open DDG on your device
2. Type "youtube.com" into the search bar
3. Click Enter
4. Unable to open this type of link pop-up will appear at the bottom of screen
5. Click at the pop-up, and you'll get white blank page

Expected behavior

Normally open youtube and play videos

Environment

- DDG App Version: 5.168.1
- Device: Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite
- OS: Android 13

Hey @jxd1337 thanks for filing this.

Would you be able to record the interaction? I’ve trying to reproduce in several devices and I can’t reproduce. Do you have the Youtube app installed?

Hi, I currently can't reproduce this myself again. I don't have the youtube app installed, but I never needed to - I always watched YT videos in browser. Everything works great now, and I didn't do anything specific that could've lead to this bug that day.

Just to be clear though this wasn't happening just with youtube, but almost all sites I tried to go to wouldn't open, e.g: hackernews, youtube, github etc...

Thanks @jxd1337. I’ll close this one out, but feel free to reopen if it happens again.
