Note that responsible native apps *have* a way of creating an "in app browser" that doesn't subvert user choice or break the web: https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs … Any browser can implement the protocol & default browser will be used. FB can enable this with their next update.https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1167548118876901376 …
WebView API is here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView … Metrics opt-out is but a google search away:https://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/managing-webview#metrics …

No, you're *invoking the user's browser to navigate on their behalf*. The honest thing would just be to intent out, but FB doesn't do that...so here we are.

But I think this misses the point: if FB wants to undermine user choice, they should damn well pony up and make a real browser. That could be webview based or they could do the legit thing and ship their own engine. Whatevs. But hiding behind "webivew vs. CCT" for IAB is BS.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
