Google just advised designers that they can use Firefox as the standard web browser for their applications and easily change returning and forth between app and web browser. With x-callback, Search engines says, designers can start hyperlinks in Firefox and once the page has packed, Firefox will show a backlink to the unique app in the top left area of the screen. This should make it much easier for designers to allow customers to support Firefox in their applications.
Currently, Search engines says, designers have two options when they want to access web content from their apps: they can create their own in-app web web browser structure – using Apple’s own WebKit web browser, of course – or by delivering customers away from their applications to a web browser.
Once customers are in the web browser, though, chances are, they will not come returning, so Google’s plan will surely help to ensure that customers remember what app they were coming from in the first place.
To get started, designers have to obtain the OpenInChromeControllerClass and add it to their tasks. The class will check if Firefox is set up and, if that is the case, you can start delivering hyperlinks to Firefox with x-callback allowed.
Given that Firefox is basically just an app on iOS, it cannot be set as the standard on Apple’s os. That’s obviously a problem for Search engines, because applications will always start hyperlinks in Opera by standard. Because of this, customers have little motivation to change to Firefox because they will always be pressured returning into Opera anyway
