Is this app just a wrapper around the default Android browser? 904k seems to be a bit small for "an all-new browser".

  Link Bubble uses the Android WebView for rendering, yes. But the API is pretty deficient in a few key areas, and I will likely have to switch to a custom modified version of Android 4.4's WebView at some point.

    If the app uses Android WebView for rendering, then its description on the Play Store as an "all-new browser" is a little disingenuous. The article by The Next Web[1] that is quoted in the description on the Play Store starts off by comparing the app with Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin and Opera, which seems to reinforce the wrong impression.

      I'm talking about the interface that presents the web to the user, not the underlying method of rendering the web.
