Google has a secret browser hidden inside the settings

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).

A dev recently discovered a browser built into the settings (for any google app that lets you edit settings). From there you can bypass parental controls or enterprise restrictions.

This is a pretty exciting “extra feature”, Google!

        Oh, yeah. Anyone who complains they don’t have any hobbies actually does have a hobby, because I’m quite sure they’re not spending that time staring blankly into space. It just happens to be something like TV or scrolling a lot, and if I don’t do that I get bored enough to read, draw, etc fairly quickly. Turns out I don’t draw like I used to as a kid because I’m not bored in class.

        My only current downfall is it’s REALLY hard for me to take a walk without music like I used to now that I have access to traveling entertainment for the first time. It’s healthier to be able to sit with yourself in boredom and distress because it forces you to process your thoughts, but it’s not fun and we don’t have to do the un-fun work thing now, and that’s probably damaging psychologically
