- oittaa 4y agoInteresting, Google News app isn't even available here. I suppose you're from the US where they can do more shady stuff.
- kyrra 4y agoThis is called chrome custom tabs, and there are a number of reasons they are better than webview. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/android/custom-tabs/ https://developer.chrome.com/docs/android/custom-tabs/
- AgentME 4y agoFirefox for Android supports custom tabs and will be used if it's your default browser. The Google News app doesn't use Android custom tabs.
