Don't mind Facebook, just putting its own browser in its Android app
Meta's Facebook has been testing its own custom-browser engine within its Android app and plans to distribute the code more widely, ostensibly for the sake of better security and an improved user experience.
WebViews also have some benefit to Facebook in terms of improved engagement metrics – taking people out of the app to a stand-alone web browser means they might not come back immediately. It also means improved visibility into user activity – WebViews expose more user data and activity than stand-alone browsers.as"tracker-blocker-blockers," while noting the salient issue is what this does to user choice.
Even so, according to Facebook software engineer manager Nate Schloss, Android users often don't bother updating their Chrome app or apps incorporating WebViews, which can harm security and lead to a worse user experience.
According to Schloss, Facebook's Chromium-based WebView will replace the Android System WebView for Facebook on Android's in-app browser.
