Don't mind Facebook, just putting its own browser in its Android app

We found a large attack surface area, so we increased it...

Good job, Meta.

You found a problem - people not accepting updates meant a larger attack surface area. So you chose to try and fix this by... increasing the attack surface area.

Yeah. That's a good solution.

Honestly, just be honest and tell us it's about tracking. Or if you actually cared about the issues of updating software, perhaps lobby for some kind of regulation in that area?

I hope that this has an off button so that I can reduce my risk by opening links in WebView, which I always update...
