+Summary:Sandbox for web apps
+Description:
+This app started out as a way to view Google News on the author's phone 
+but now encompasses Google+, Google Maps etc. 
+The idea is to be able to access the Google web apps without having to log 
+into Google on your browser, so that you can browse privately. 
+It is a good way to access the Google webapps if you have an AOSP-based ROM 
+and reject the proprietary GApps.
+Also the webapps are less bandwidth and battery-hungry than their native
+counterparts.
+
+Links to external sites (such as news articles, etc.) will be opened in 
+a regular browser, thus keeping the Google authentication sandboxed in the app.
