  Description
  
  Hello, I'm not sure if it can be considered a bug, but anyway.
	After last update I noticed that PB shows up as a possible app when messaging/calling for Telegram and WA.
In the attached image you see the right icons for 'messaging' because I told "open always with".
	I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 with Android 8.
	Thank you!

    I'm not sure I fully understand what let to the attached screenshot.  What app are you in, and what option did you select, that led to that screenshot?
 
   
  
  
    
    
    
    The situation is: no app opened at all, I just open my list of contacts on the phone, then I go on a contact and see as in the picture.
	If I actually try to follow PB in opening, for example, a call on Telegram it shows:
"Impossible to load the web page at content://com.android.contacts/data/6864 since: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND"
	I didn't make any setting for PB.
 
   
  
  
  
  
    
    
    
    If you can't post a video, a precise description of each step, with the version number of the contact app you are using, would be helpful.
 
   
  
  
    
    
    
    
      
    Yes, unfortunately a video would show telephone numbers, so I'm forced to avoid it. I tried to make an image instead. Please see it attached here :-)
	The contacts app is: "Contacts" by Samsung, version 3.8.27.9
 
   
  
  
    
    
    
    
       - Status changed from New to In Progress
- Priority changed from 3.x to Next Release
Thanks for the detailed images.  They explained to me what is going on, and I am able to replicate the problem on a Samsung tablet.
	The solution is to limit Privacy Browser's content intent filters.  Probably to something like the following:
	<data android:mimeType="text/*" />
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
<data android:mimeType="multipart/related" />
<data android:mimeType="mmessage/rfc822" />
	I'll have to play around with them a little bit to see exactly what is needed.
