I verified the bug fix by opening links to articles or sites that were
obviously not Google+ content. The container did open the links with the
default browser, as intended.

I will keep the verification-needed tag for now, to let testers outside
of our development group  verify this fix.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Opening external links in Google+ is not working as expected. The link
  redirection is stopped in the middle of it in the default browser.

  A user is then unable to visit pages which do not belong to the webapp
  domain.

  This is a regression compared to the browser container that was used
  for webapps in previous releases.

  [Test Case]

  - open the google+ webapp (on touch or desktop)
  - find a post with a link to the external content
  - click on the external links
  Expected result:
  - the target webpage should appear
  Actual result:
  - the link is unresponsive

  [Regression Potential]

  None
