WebApps Sandboxed browser Android app

This Android app is a fork of the GoogleApps Sandboxed browser (see https://github.com/tobykurien/GoogleNews). The idea behind it is to provide a secure way to browse popular webapps by eliminating referrers, 3rd party requests, cookies, cross-site scripting, etc.

It accomplishes this by providing a sandbox for multiple webapps (like Google's apps, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Each webapp will run in it's own sandbox, with 3rd party requests (cookies, images, scripts, etc.) blocked, and all external links opening in an external default web browser (which should have cookies, plug-ins, flash, etc. disabled).

By default, all HTTP requests are blocked (only HTTPS allowed). This improves security, especially on untrusted networks. The app can also handle HTTPS links and open them in their own sandbox.

You can download the latest release here: https://github.com/tobykurien/WebApps/tree/master/apk

This app is available from the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tobykurien.webapps
