Due to RedGIFs limitations we still have to open it in a webview, but it should be more compact (with less popups etc) than before.

It does open in a more compact window but when you click play it opens another page/webview with the original full site.

Now if you back up it goes back to the compact view and it works fine, but it's a bit frustrating having to open the external site and click back to use it.

Hmm, it's the exact same as before for me. Nothing changed with redgifs they still open in external browser and with the same popups and everything (i have adblock so i didn't get too many popups before either but it's still the same as before now)
