   You can just use the last version of InAppBrowser (4.1.0 for now), and open the external link* using "cordova.InAppBrowser.open" instead of "window.open". Also, include the "hidden=yes", like this (it fixed some problems in iOS):
   
   `cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://www.google.com/', '_system', 'hidden=yes,location=yes');`
   
   *It also works with "mailto", "tel", "whatsapp"... for Android, you just have to allow the intent and give permissions in config.xml file, like this:
   
   ```
   <access launch-external="yes" origin="tel:*" />
   <access launch-external="yes" origin="mailto:*" />
   <allow-intent href="tel:*" />
   <allow-intent href="sms:*" />
   ```
   
   Finally, if you want all page loads in your app to go through the InAppBrowser, you can simply hook "window.open" during initialization:
   
    ```
   $ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
     if (ionic.Platform.isWebView()) {
       window.open = cordova.InAppBrowser.open;
     }
   }
   ```
