iOS 9 and Safari View Controller: the future of web views

For a long time, iOS apps have been able to open links as web views. When you tap a link in a Twitter client, an RSS reader, or a bookmark utility, it usually opens in a mini browser that doesn't leave the app, providing you with the convenience of not having to switch between Safari and the app. For years, in spite of some security concerns, this worked well and became the de-facto standard among third-party iOS apps.With iOS 9, Apple wants this to change - and they're bringing the power of Safari to any app that wants to take advantage of it.
