And they get far more access to your information than they would in a browser.

  Plus no opportunity to block ads + trackers, etc. in the embedded chromium-based browser.

    First thing I do when I click on a link on LinkedIn is to open the context/share menu and press “open in Safari”. Hopefully if enough people do this it will make it clear in their analytics that nobody wants their shitty knockoff browser. The worst is that it’s using deprecated APIs on iOS that make it several times slower than Safari.

        It's a lot slower so I assume so. It's definitely not a Safari View Controller.
