I've been trying to figure out how to open an URL that you open within the Instagram app, in an external browser (Safari, Chrome) rather than the in-build Instagram-browser.

Here's an example page that does exactly what I want. It asks you to leave Instagram app and opens external browser visiting his website.

I tried a lot of things, like using window.open with _blank, _system, etc. Also tried these within a <a href=".... None of these solutions worked.

Here is another question with the same problem.

You can push it to browser using this javascript snip:

window.open("http://yourexternallink.com","_system");

    Thanks, I already tried this and I tried it again for you, but it doesn't work. All it does is redirecting to the in-build Instagram browser again. No popup asking to open the link in the browser. Any other idea?The example page I posed does exactly what I want if you open that page on your instagram mobile app. – ishyfishy Aug 16 '17 at 12:09

    I kind of find out he's using some kind of url shortener which is then redirecting to his site. The url shortener does the trick, but I don't know what it exactly does. – ishyfishy Aug 17 '17 at 22:08
