Feature
Opt out of metrics and safe browsing for Android System WebView in AndroidManifest.xml
I think this stops unnecessary connections on regular Android devices using the official Android System WebView that doesn't have this force disabled already.

Research direction
Open app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and inspect the entries around lines 62 and 65 linked in the issue. Confirm the Android System WebView manifest options for opting out of metrics and safe browsing, then verify the manifest remains valid through the normal Android build or validation process. Done means both requested options are configured for the Android app.
