Seriously CCP when are you going to make this little trivial upgrade?

Its getting really stupid. The function is already in the client, and it would take you no time to add it.

Its getting really frustrating that all links have to be copied to use out of game, especially things like youtube links and twitch links and the likes.

Could you please take the 2-4 man hours it would take to make this work..

Yes please, make this trivial change, save me the extra 15 seconds it takes to right click, copy URL and past into my firefox address window...

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

The point really is how little effort and how huge a number of people and their everyday enjoyment of the game will improve.

It would be interesting to get stats on how many links are shared in EVE each day, and how many of those need out of game browser, just to maybe get some perspective on how relevant it would be to push up on the priority list. I would not be surprised if the resulting saved numbers of seconds per day stacks up to something crazy.

I Approve.

Would also like to see an option to click anywhere outside the browser and see the browser fold. just like the regular browser in WIN.

Seems a reasonable idea.

Whatever form this would take, the fastest and simplest would be acceptable imho..

Either this or improvements to the browser itself.

In-game browser will ever be worse than specialized software anyway. I support the proposal.

With something like this, maybe more focus could be made on making more IGB special functionality, like linked with Single sign on features.. So like automatic login from even client to forums, eve wiki, api / crest management etc..

The future of the IGB shold be more EVE specialized, same type of ideas like the map tool and the alliance recording tool and similar things..

+1. A nice QoL improvement. Especially when you get that pron post in Fleet that you wanna save for later Blink
