I made simple chrome extension to automatically disables it (not by registry method), you can find source code and installation steps from here:

This should work for further updates unless roblox patches it.

I really would appreciate it if this extension would be converted to Firefox addon. This is promising though

(can confirm myself the script is safe and won’t cause any harm as it just changes HTML content (or more correctly replaces it with it’s own iframe)

Same here. I’m not an expert in this kind of scripts, so I’m not sure either if there’s a way to directly put the scripts from GitHub into a script addon for Firefox (such as Violentmonkey)?

I’ve tried it, but so far no succes.

I think problem is firefox engine loading content even after iframe was deleted.
I’ll think for workaround.

#77

Can’t put it in Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey, unless the website supports jQuery (which THANKFULLY it does)

#78

If you can’t get that to work you can try my beta app fix.

I’ve tried this, but it still seems to redirect me to the app after leaving a game, could it be that this was patched?

#80

It’s working currently. You must’ve grabbed the previous update’s launcher before I

I added support for tampermonkey, if you have tampermonkey extension installed already you can install directly from here: https://github.com/RobloxDevs/Roblox-InApp-Disable/raw/main/window.user.js

Looked into how @lolmanurfunny patched the executable, I did a little tinkering and made a script that should automatically patch it without having to download whenever Roblox decides to push an update (unless it’s to the codebase, then it may break)

Just run the script again when the homepage comes again.

Let me know if it doesn’t work for you. Or if you don’t want to use this, just use the userscript found in the earlier replies. Either works. Just a fun afternoon project to kill my time.

Nice job. I was far too lazy (and busy with other things) to make this myself because I patch/ed the launcher manually in 2 seconds. The tool I use to patch it is cheat engine. (I know how goofy that sounds)

A temporary fix can be done by making the application run as administrator

This is quite appreciated! I haven’t had any issues yet but in the event they arise it’s good to know that I can disable it!
