Webapps exist for a reason, they don't get all the special permissions apps get when fully installed.

at the very least use a VPN / more secure phone like a pixel with graphene

You keep doing you though

A VPN won't help you if your device is compromised. A VPN won't help you if the server is compromised. A VPN won't help you if the VPN is compromised.

I really wish people would understand that VPNs are not magical, unbreakable security. VPNs are barely security at all, and commercial VPNs even less so.

Ironically, the exploits in this leaked kit all involved flaws in webkit, so you'd have been safer sticking to native apps assuming they didn't have any webviews in them to load the malicious site.

WebView is the worst experience I have on any smart phone or mobile app.

The fact that there is no option so that any webview by default opens in safari across all app in ios is horrible.

i am not surprised it is riddled with security holes.
