Security feature request: Add in a prompt for popups and redirects

It might be viable to allow the user to set the option in app to prompt for pop up/ redirect via the context menu. Also selecting to open inernally in webapps or externally a secondary browser app when prompted.

If a link opens in an external browser, you can share it back to WebApps to open it in a sandbox. You can long-press a link to choose how to open it.

I second the suggestion to have a pop up inform the user of the redirect, and provid ethe option to cancel it, copy the URL (or open in Webapps instead) and finally to proceed.

I just tried using the app to login to Tinder, and Facebook was redirected to my main browser. I feel that "breaks" the sandbox too easily. To be fair, I tried copying it back to Webapps, but i was stuck in a loop. I either pasted the URL back and was presented with the option that initiated the redirect or logged in the browser and couldn't use the URL in Webapps.
