Jason Chase commented on CB-8444:
---------------------------------

A new symbol has been added to expose the InAppBrowser functionality, named 
`cordova.InAppBrowser.open`.  The clobber of `window.open` has been deprecated 
(in the docs), but not removed.  The plan is to wait to the next major release, 
to give apps a chance to update usage as appropriate.

> Don't clobber `window.open`

> Where Cordova plugins map 1:1 to W3C API's it's great that they clobber the 
> corresponding namespace. Geolocation is a good example.
> However, it doesn't really feel like this plugin is a 1:1, so perhaps it 
> should be available at another name, e.g. `window.iabOpen` (the old API 
> should be preserved until the next major though, since to keep backward 
> compatibility).
