I agree! I think a more interesting question is "why?", the implementation details are 6 vs a half-a-dozen.

I wrote a short story about why: https://nothingtrue.substack.com/p/discovered-a-secret-messa...

Only consultants will earn that, and only after they've been a consultant for several years (i.e. they've been working as a hospital doctor in total for somewhere between 12-20 years)

The doctor quoted will likely be ST3 band, which means they've completed a 5 or 6 year medical degree, and then been a full-time "junior doctor" working in a hospital for 5 further years.

Doctors in the NHS are horrifically underpaid, and especially post-brexit there's a growing exodus to higher-paid countries (Australia, New Zealand, USA...).


Particularly annoyingly, my password manager (Lastpass) stops working, as it thinks the website context is a Microsoft domain, so suggests irrelevant usernames/passwords.

To be fair the same happens with any app that does this (e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), so maybe it's Lastpass's bug. But I get zero value from the captured webview, so on balance I'd strongly prefer if app developers stopped doing this.


Although it's annoying for logins, I really like that LinkedIn doesn't seem to retain cookie state in its in-app browser.

It's a bit like using a private browsing window. Every time I go to something from LinkedIn, it asks me for permission to hold cookies all over again, and this gives me confidence that the site isn't getting any cookies, and my logged in identity on Google (in my regular browser) isn't being tracked by the visited site.

It was annoying when I wanted to follow links to my regular browser, until I noticed that from the WebView there's a way to "share" to another browser (and also an "open in Firefox Focus"), and I can take it forward from there if I want.


You can with Adguard


Thanks for this, installing this on both me and my wife's phones.


But it's not available from Google or Apple stores.
