Description
Escape Instagram and Facebook in-app browsers with a proper npm package instead of copy-pasting fragile snippets. Framework-agnostic, it works with plain HTML, React, Vue, Next.js, Angular, and Svelte. Includes deep-link attempts, a built-in fallback banner with a manual browser-opening option, zero dependencies, and a ~2KB footprint. It only activates inside supported in-app browsers, leaving regular mobile and desktop browsers untouched.
