In-app browsers are very different from full-featured browser apps, but they also pose a major privacy and security risk. Many apps insert data trackers on websites you visit through their built-in browser using a method called JavaScript injection, which adds additional code to a page as it loads. These trackers can retrieve browsing history, login data, and even key presses and text input.
