...for context, that's almost half the number of people with iPhones. The scale of Android is mind-boggling. But even with auto-updating WebView handling (some of) the security aspects, the privacy issue remains. WebViews aren't browsers.
Sorry, mentioned in a slightly roundabout way (tweet ref'd in OP). But yes, they're defaulting users to an in-app "browser" that isn't CCT-based. Only one data-point, but I'll believe their bit on privacy has flipped when they stop taking *unbelievable* risks with web traffic.

You should ask
@hillbrad about this. I know he used to have an interest in a full-fledged browser view controller for the FB app’s web browsing. -
While we're on the topic, any hope of letting iOS users choose which browser provides the CCT-equivalent on iOS? :)
