TL;DR

• Google is preparing to have Android open Captive Portal pages in an Android Custom Tab instead of an Android WebView.
• A Captive Portal is a web page that many public Wi-Fi networks present before they allow your device to connect.
• By opening these web pages in Android Custom Tabs, they’ll have access to your autofill and session data, making it easier to sign in when needed.

This is a great update from Google. It's going to make connecting to public Wi-Fi networks much more seamless, especially for those who frequently use such networks. The integration of autofill and session data will definitely expedite the sign-in process.
