Newer Samsung devices can't display webpages i

问题:

When I open an URL (say https://www.google.com) in a SMS in Samsung's built-in Messages app, it's opened in the in-app browser, where a blank page is immediately displayed, and stays blank instead of displaying the website.

Is this a known Samsung/Android bug?
Is there a known workaround?

To reproduce:

Receive (or send) an URL in a SMS in Samsung's built-in Messages app.
Tap on the URL in the SMS:
1. The app opens the webpage in its in-app browser instead of opening it in Chrome.
2. Observe a blank page is immediately displayed, and stays blank.

To work around:

Rotate the device orientation (e.g. portrait -> landscape).
Observe the page finally appear in front of your puzzled eyes!

What kind of page works?

None. Even this one fails to be shown:

<html>
  <body>How I wish you'd show me immediately!</body>
</html>

A few more surprises:

alert('ah, ha!') works immediately!
The CSS style background-color works immediately!
That is, the blank page uses the color defined in this rule.
document.body.innerHtml('Show this, at least!') doesn't help.
