We have a price comparison website that uses a lot of out of site links with target="_blank". In Facebook in-app browser those links are not working from 31.1.2019. I notices that this is not working on many sites, even clicks on banners are not working. Is this some bug or what could be wrong ? This is a major problem because we are spending a lot of money for advertising on FB but now links are not working.
It was due to this bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=927254#c31
Unfortunately, though this was "fixed" yesterday, users will continue to experience the problem until their side has been updated. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=927254#c35
It's amazing that Facebook was made aware of this problem and nothing has been done during the past 7 days.
Facebook mobile's browser is widely used these days so this might be a more serious problem than people think. Ads were being loaded in the background when clicked from what I can understand. Advertisers are not gonna be happy.
