Description

WebApps is an open-source, secure, sandboxedbrowser for mobi/web app sites. What this means is that you canbrowse mobile websites/web apps securely within the app, but anyexternal links will open in your default browser or other app. Withthe ability to create homescreen shortcuts, WebApps turns yourfavourite mobi/web apps into secure apps!

WebApps automatically uses HTTPS for all requests, and by defaultactually blocks any 3rd party requests (e.g. analytics, adtrackers, etc) and any insecure requests (i.e. requests that arenot using HTTPS).

The main use for WebApps is that you can disable cookies, passwordsaving, and flash/local storage on your default browser. This way,you cannot easily be tracked or have your session hijacked when onpublic Wifi. You can safely opt to use the mobile versions of somepopular apps (like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.) instead ofusing their Android app counterparts, since the Android apps canleak a lot of private data (e.g. automatic photo uploads, location,your contact list, etc.).

Features:
