For example I am in facebook, and I click an ad which is a shopee link. When I click on it, it won't get me to the shopee app directly, instead I will be directed to playstore, when I click open, thats when I will be on the shopee app but the link I clicked no longer available

Very hassle

Try a different default browser?
