in-app webviews are the worst... somehow i got into a state where twitter.com was loaded in a webview INSIDE the x app with a banner prompting me to open it in x. this would be so confusing to the average person ("but i'm already in the x app and i'm already logged in").

instead of the open web we ended up with apps that each have their own partitioned view of the web

@bcrypt And they don't even have federated servers to worry about! It's literally just one (two?) domains they need to know shouldn't be in the webview!
@bcrypt If you click some buttons in the settings pane of the Trello iOS app, it will take you to the browser, where it gives you a 404, mentions that it may or may not help to log in, and insists "Trello is better in the app." My brother in Steve you took me out of the app!

@bcrypt

The solution to this madness is instead of ' using the X app, 🤢🤮 ' , just use #TheEverythingApp , a #WebBrowser and watch that ' open a new tab ' instead, with the sane defaults / plugin settings set the way YOU want and NOT the default ' let everything runAsAService offering ' 💯 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#infosec has solutions 💯👉😸

How hard was it to resurrection an iFrame, ffs! /$ Obviously they just use CSS and JavaScript now so... ☕🤣

I just had a flash back to the mid-90s web and frames. History does seem to repeat it's self.

@bcrypt I used to get annoyed with the Facebook app because it'd regularly revert whatever the setting was so it used the "In-App Browser" for opening links.

Last time it did this I couldn't even find the find the option anymore so I just uninstalled it and now exclusively access via the website (with all of @Vivaldi's tracking and ad prevention ramped up to the max).

Thinking about some of the other recent stuff to come out about how Meta behaves I should have done that years ago.
