Suggestion: switch to in-app browser login to avoid a login loop

[techmagus]

When trying to log in to a Pixelfed server, it goes into a login loop because the system kills the app.

Some manufacturers, unfortunately, set a low number of background apps setting despite having a lot of memory; coupled with an aggressive 'kill' setting. So, when apps that launch separately the system browser, their app is placed in the background which the system then 'kills'.

The workaround I've noticed from other apps is to wrap the system browser (I think Android calls it in-app browsing) so the app stays in the foreground.
