Now it opens the link inside the application which isn't expected behaviour, and it is incredibly annoying and slow as well.
It should either open links in a chrome custom tab (https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs) or in an external browser as a quick fix.

I hate when I forgot about this and accidentally click on a link on the mobile...

Accidentally opened an issue on other project. Please add an option for selecting an external app which is used for opening the clicked URL instead of displaying inside the app.

Any progress on this? The in-app browser is really slow and difficult (impossible? It tends to crash the app for me) to close.

Would love if this got solved.. This is the biggest complain on the app we receives.

Is the solution in the app or is it in the server side?

Me too. This is the the worst problem I have with the mobile app right now.
