how to force links or pages to open outside of facebook inapp browser?

First of all there are few posts already but with satisfactory answers so i am posting the same issue again hoping for the solution

Force links to open outside facebook's inapp browser

Open website link outside of Facebook app

The problem is when the user clicks on a website link posted on facebook clicking on the link will open the site in facebook in app browser. I want to detect that the site was opened in facebook's in app browser and then if so force the site or page to open in external browser. I want this ability because there are many things that dont seem to work in facebook's in app browser. I appreciate any input! Thanks!

This is not something you can (reliably) detect.

Even if you could, I'm pretty sure there's no way to force the site to open in the device's browser, instead of the in-app browser
