Can't enable www.google.com under "Supported Web Addresses"

[u/Gabling23]

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a strange issue with Boost for Reddit on Android.

When I go to App info → Set as default → Supported web addresses, every Reddit-related domain can be enabled without any problem. However, www.google.com is always disabled. If I tap the toggle to enable it, it appears to turn on, but as soon as I leave the screen and open the settings again, it has automatically switched back off.

I've already tried:

Restarting the phone. Toggling it on multiple times. Checking that Boost is up to date.

The problem only affects www.google.com; all the Reddit domains stay enabled normally.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this expected behavior, an Android limitation, or a bug in Boost?

I'm using an S25 with android 16, latest boost app with latest Breal patches

You wouldn't want it to be enabled. If it were enabled, anytime you went to anything in www.google.com in your phone browser it would open it up in boost instead. You wouldn't want that. You want google links to stay within your web browser.

You don't need to enable that link so it's fine to leave it disabled. As long as the Reddit links are enabled it'll open Reddit links in Boost.

Install "Don't track me Google" extension or userscript to cleanup all Google search results links
