Thank you :) | |

| Mar 6, 2013 at 17:26 | comment | added | Izzy | That's called security. If it would be easy to circumvent, a malicious app could use that to re-direct you to fraudulent sites (e.g. having enter you credit card information and other sensitive data so they can collect them, while you think you've just entered them on a "safe place"). | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 17:20 | comment | added | Matt McDonald | OK. I thought that might be the case, I shall have to about rooting. Seems like a lot of hassle for something (that should be) so simple! | |
