Instead of opening the page in your choice of external browser, they cruelly launch a built-in web view.<\/p>\n<p>These features are supposed to make browsing faster (and keep you trapped in the app for as long as possible.) Unfortunately, that extra speed comes with a cost.<\/p>\n<p>My colleague Napier eloquently detailed these drawbacks back in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/words-at-play\/before-times-covid-history-and-usage\">the Before Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can\u2019t open multiple tabs within an in-app browser<\/li>\n<li>You can\u2019t type in a new URL<\/li>\n<li>You can\u2019t go back and read another email without losing your place or any information you\u2019ve filled out.
