Disable the popup webview

[Chris921]

   Does anyone know how to remove this popup webview 'thingy'. It pops up sometimes when clicking on external links.

It's one of the worst functions on my XZ1 compact. 

Many of my apps won't work properly because of this. 

Thanks.

Good question I'm also having a lot of problems with this

#metoo it's really annoying and not working proper, it's completely useless. Totally fail does Sony don't have a QA in their software development team?

I have still not found any solution. . This green/white android on the "Copy, Share and Mark all" buttons are the icon/button for opening the popup webview.

Tasker:

#Android Webview Test (2)
A1: Send Intent [ Action:android.intent.action.VIEW Cat:None Mime Type: Data:http://www.google.com Extra:new_window:true Extra: Extra: Package: Class: Target:Activity ]

---

This tasker "Send Intent" task opens the URL in the same popup webbrowser.

I have reported this to the Android devs

 Isn't it just a bad written app?

Does it happen in all apps?

[Chris921]

For me it's happens in most of the apps. Have to copy link and open it in Chrome if possible.
