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).

    I think it is not a browser per se. It is just another settings for your account.

    It’s just the WebView, you can use that on light browsers like Via for example.
