On my Samsung, the reddit app supercedes any device settings when it comes to opening reddit links from Google. Forces the reddit app to open it, even when its link opening settings are set to "none" and a 3rd party reddit app (I use Reddit Is Fun) is set as default. Thought I could use the official app as a backup, but if it doesn't play nice with other apps then I guess I don't need it. The official app interface, and new desktop interface, are bloated and unhelpful for navigating.
