However, using a browser like this is not the best option for users who want to access material within an application. Also, Android app developers have started using Chrome’s custom tabs feature to optimize and enhance the user experience.
Now, the tech giant has updated its blog post to reveal new capabilities being rolled out to make in-app navigation smoother on Android. These new capabilities include partial tab customization as well as password autofill. All the information is as follows:
Android In-App Browser New Feature: Partial Custom Tabs
With the introduction of this new functionality for partial custom tabs, app developers will have more control over the height of a tab when it is first launched. For example, when a user clicks on an article link, this feature will help the tab to open in a half-size part of the screen. This will not only make it possible for users to interact with the app, but also make it easier for them to access the in-app browsers at the same time.

In addition, the company emphasizes the advantages of Chrome’s custom tabs over WebView. Google claims that users would have additional capabilities available to them with the custom table.

Google will also allow users to fill in their saved passwords and other details, such as addresses, in addition to partially customized tabs. Users will not need to exit the application to complete this data. This capability can be useful in situations where an application displays a login popup for its internal browser.

You can develop your own in-app browser using WebViews; however, this could be a difficult process with higher maintenance expense.
