Anyone else getting random sketchy websites occasionally instead of the link in posts? Second try usually works fine.

Android on the pwa :/ I'm worried it's my phone but normal chrome hasn't done it yet

Hmm, it's possible there's some malware on your phone infecting Android Webview but not the Chrome app.

I thought the pwa runs in chrome??

Once a PWA is installed its not running within the Chrome app, but Android System Webview afaik.

Not completely sure, but the title of the voyager pwa on my phone is called chrome in the activity switcher, even though it has the voyager icon. Also if I pause the chrome app the pwa won't open. This has me paranoid now maybe my router is compromised. Gonna start using the app via chrome directly and see if I get any sketch redirects.

Oh I am on a pixel 7 so maybe chrome is the android webview implementation.
