Do you experience ads/malware/icky stuff inside the embedded browsers? I ask because I only use web mail and web based rss readers, and thus not a lot of experience with "native" apps and their embedded browsers.

Oh yes! They open http and https connections just like a web browser would so they load the same elements and run the same javascript as a browser.

My usage seems to be the opposite of yours as I use the web browser as a fallback.
