I think people fear the rather nasty experience of embedded webview when you click a link. It seems to be a bit of a barrier to entry.

- leephillips 10y agoWhat is that? On both TweetDeck and the normal Twitter page, when I click a link the target opens in a new page; nothing embedded.
- mschuster91 10y agoIt's on Twitter for Android, which falls back to the system webview (on my old-ish phone, IIRC Chrome v30), when you don't have Chrome installed.
- leephillips 10y agoOh yeah, I hate that. I suppose there is a good client for Twitter on Android, but I haven't found it yet.
- mschuster91 10y agoI'm writing one with pure HTML5 (Cordova) actually. Too bad it needs either a Cordova container, or a server backend as a proxy, because Twitter sends out fairly restrictive CORS headers. If you don't want to wait until it's ready, I recommend tweecha - or install Google Chrome from the Play Store, that should make Twitter automatically use the Chrome webview instead.
