With the latest Android in-app browser WebView security update you can now enjoy added security. It may appear to be as the browser that opens when you click on links in Facebook and Chrome, it’s smaller in reality. We can say it is the simpler version of its big brother known as WebView.

Update: Google has made Android’s in-app browser more secure now

Google has now upped the security level by offering SafeBrowsing within WebView. So if an app tries to access a site that is on Google’s phishing and malware databases a warning will show which will help you make safer browsing decisions.

In addition, the search giant has sandboxed WebView’s renderer as well which implies that any malicious app that is able to access to the renderer will not be able to invade any further.

Developers can add the new security developments with just by one code line. To make the most of this feature users simply have to update the software.
