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!

That’s still pretty bad. I’m surprised google didn’t think so.
