Describe the new feature:

I don't think it's necessary to check whether the user really wants to visit the official osu! website.

Not sure about this one, osu! will immediately exit and can't be returned to if an external link was opened for phone users afaik

I don't think it's necessary to check whether the user wants to visit the official osu! website.

It just going to warn you since it is going to open a browser outside the game, and it will be really laggy in an older PC (especially if you're using Chrome, it'll drain your RAM)

Maybe an option to disable waning?

So why not make a browser in-game like any other mobile games?

This will happen but in the form of a domain whitelist, not just for the osu! domain.

We will not have an in-game browser.

Doesn't android allow for an very easy way to make an in app browser. Pretty sure apps can just ask the OS what web browsing apps are installed on the phone, ask which one to use or just use the default one, then the browser app provides the rendering engine in which the page loads.

Even if the warning stays, opening another app on mobile instead of staying in the osu! app doesn't make sense with the mobile UX these days.
