Ask to Open Links from Other Apps in Private Browsing. Feature Request:

Google Chrome on iOS has this nifty feature that when a user sets Chrome as the default browser. Chrome has a setting that when you click on a link outside of Google Chrome (as in a link clicked in another app), once transferred to Chrome (the default browser) it will ask the user if they want to open that link in:

1.) private browsing

2.) normal browsing

Or

3.) cancel (which means it will not navigate to that link.)

Here are images of the feature and how it works in iOS:

This will help users protect their privacy and security. As accidentally clicking a link will not immediately open the link. Which then allows the user to then decide to open it in private browsing/normal browsing or the user can cancel the request and not navigate to the website to begin with. So if it is a malicious link the user accidentally taps, they get a second chance to review the url.

I hope the brave team considers adding this!

This would be a great feature to see added!
