Jonathan do you have any idea how I can eliminate certain links from this code? I've run into a problem with all links opening with InApp. Google maps used to open on Android with maps:q= but now it doesn't. This worked great because it avoided InApp and opened the Google maps app. Now I'm adding http://maps.google.com to get it to work and InApp is grabbing the link. Google maps in the InApp browser is terrible.

How would this work if i need to POST a form to an external URL and want to open it in the InApp Browser ?

Dumb question, but... how exactly do I call this into my Ionic project? I get that I should create the js file, reference it in index.html, but any other code I need to add to the above to make it update all my links to open in the inAppBrowser?

Thanks!

Hi I ran into a similar problem because download links (e.g. .pdf) don't work in inAppBrowser, I finally found a working solution with inAppBrowser 3.1.0 using beforeload event: https://julian.pustkuchen.com/node/809

Perhaps my solution helps you or others. I also lost several hours on this.
All things I tried in the loaded website itself didn't succeed.
