Unable to restrict AOSP Browser (com.android.browser) #1685
Comments
Stock browser = Chrome? I am afraid Google is connecting to the internet in a non-standard way, by doing direct sysyem call. This will probably end up in the limitations section. |
Not Chrome, the open source stock AOSP browser, the one that used to be standard before Google started pushing Chrome. It is still standard on ROMs that don't have the proprietary GAPPS installed. |
As far as I can tell this happens with dolphin browser as well. I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago on XDA post # 9282. |
loadUrl is successfully restricted on the client side (browser). No other restrictions are hit soon thereafter, so the stock browser is probably using some (hidden) system service or another system component to load the page. |
There is another limitation: "You can't set the user-agent string used for XMLHttpRequests made from JavaScript. Those requests always use the default user-agent string." |
Denying Internet/Connect or View/loadURL (onDemand or permanently) has no effect, all pages are able to load, although the usage data shows as denied. AOSP browser does not use any native libraries.
