Asked this in another thread but I'll ask here as well.

I was a Relay users. One of the things I liked is that it would open a lot of things in overlay windows. Like youtube videos and such. Basically it had handlers for lots of file types and websites. Did sync do anything like that?

[–] lime_red@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it did. It had native handlers for YouTube, imgur/etc. If the native handler had an issue (e.g. YouTube blocked it unless it was in YouTube's player) then you could break out to an internal or external browser.

Thank you. Then for lack of Relay this is my great hope.

I was a relay user for a good while but I switched to sync after I saw just how feature rich it was. I think you will be happy with sync if you liked relay. Hopefully it will be nearly the same experience for lemmy!

I've used relay for a good while but I switched to sync after I saw just how feature rich it was. If you liked relay I believe you will be happy with sync. Hopefully it will be the same experience here!

Hmm, I don't think so. I admit I'm struggling to recall though, already!
