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.
Android will soon make it easier to connect to some public Wi-Fi networks
