the only real problem i've had with this app is the lack of an "open in browser" button; specifically in the case of feeds i'm subscribed to that don't have the article content within the actual feed, necessitating that i open them in a browser. until now i copied article links with the share button and manually opened them in my browser.

this PR just adds a button to the top bar on the reading page and to the context menu of articles in the article list.

also, sorry for not using the typical commit message style, i hate LLMs/vibecoding with a passion and want this to seem like a human actually put effort into it (given the codebase and lack of android dev experience it did take like an hour for me to figure this out); all LLMs do the whole fix(X) and chore: stuff, gotta protest it somehow, y'know ;3

btw, in terms of actual discussion of the content of the PR, i was unsure whether to put the "open in browser" button on the left or right of the share button (and so also above or below the share button in the context menu). if you think a different order makes more sense then feel free to change it without asking, whatever works for me honestly as long as the button is there x3

In the reading view you can just tap the title to open the article in a browser.

You can also set feeds to be automatically opened in the browser when tapping an an article in the article list view, belonging to that feed.

In conclusion I think your problems are already solved ones.

You can also try "parse full content" instead

thank you, didn't realize this. i dug through settings a few times and couldn't find anything, i also checked issues and found a comment on one that mentioned there didn't seem to be a way to open in browser so figured there just wasn't
