Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest release of the library, as maybe the bug has been already fixed.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

I'm having a crash in production on Android: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException.
Only 2 users are having this crash.

OS: Android 15 (SDK 35)

Device1: Samsung a15
Device2: Samsung gta9pwifi (tablet)

Any idea if this is the case when the user has not setup Chrome/a default browser except to the native Samsung one?
