secret browser makes it sound so illicit. This looks like the default webview implementation that is able to be accessed after a series of pretty niche and complicated steps. Something that should be looked at and closed obviously, but this type of language is clickbait 101 and actually unhelpful for the discourse.

Then you should actually read it.

It’s not the default webview, and it now has an open issue with Google

  Yes my friend, it is the default webview. That explains the bare bones look to it, the back button functionality, and the history or lack of. The default webview on android isn’t a full fledged browser and isn’t meant to be.
  
  and it now has an open issue with Google
  
  This is literally meaningless. You should see the amount of shite users raise on the issue tracker. What you, or the author, should do is link to the issue in question.
  
  I note that the comments on Hacker News also aren’t favourable to this.

    Are you okay?
    
    I note that the comments on Hacker News also aren’t favourable to this.
    
    Apart from being upvoted by an above average amount, the vast majority of comments talk about adjacent topics such as “I remember similar things with the NT login screen” or “WTF Google, bypassing the device restrictions is a bad thing.”
