Google has a secret browser hidden inside the settings

I recently discovered a secret browser located inside the "Manage my account" popup that Android has in various apps (quite important apps, such as Settings, and all Google suite apps).

A dev recently discovered a browser built into the settings (for any google app that lets you edit settings). From there you can bypass parental controls or enterprise restrictions.

This is a pretty exciting “extra feature”, Google!

the was a news here on lemmy where someone got in prison because the local county has put some malware in the phone. It logged a single request to Pornhub, so the guy bail was revoked

Not his phone. There are circumstances where that would be defensible.

They put their malware on his wife and kids’ phones.

Extremely fucked up.
