Description

A link such as this:

<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>

should open by default in the device's web browser, without being explicitly allowed in the plist (externalhosts).

This is the current (and, imo, expected) behaviour on Android.

• depends upon: CB-1507 Implement InAppBrowser feature
• is depended upon by: CB-94 OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView setting still problematic
