View/loadUrl doesn't prevent loading the URL

[Cyclu]

I wonder why View/loadUrl even is restricted doesn't prevent loading the URL "http://" also the local URL like this "file:///" that's true for all tried applications.

Here is example with BubbleUPnP I can see the tips page and the changelog under Settings>About/Help:

Google Search also can display the result page:

Here is the logcat for BubbleUPnP which use a library "chromium_net" I think this library is the culprit.

I don't think this can be fixed, but if I have some more time I will look into this restriction again.

[M66B]

The restriction loadUrl is to fake the user agent and not to prevent loading URLs. Maybe this is confusing, but XPrivacy is not there to block things, but to hide privacy sensitive data.

You could create an issue for a new restriction for loading URLs ...
