Device rotation and browser widget

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

The caveat is: Safari app in iOS and Chrome app on Android "own" the entire card rect.  

Since, in LC we can set that rect for the browser widget to anything we want… how exactly should it be have when the phone is turned sideways? or turned "upright" (if watching a movie in e.g. Youtube, sideways)  

see:

I offered one algorithm (brainstorm) at the bug report above. Anyone else interested can please add themselves to watch that bug and possibly comment on a better option for how a truly "responsive" browser widget should work. What hooks, props, are needed to fine tune the control of the browser widget… both placement on the card and orientation of web content in that rect?

    the message was sent. I've been juggling things between orientationChanged, 
    resizestack, and a browser setup handler, and only one combination gave me 
    a resizestack message.
    
    Too many variables.
