Launch vs Set in widget

[J. Landman Gay]

Yes, I meant "launch url in widget" which says it opens a url in the 
widget, but that is what "set the URL of widget x" does too. I don't see 
any difference.

I'm having a terrible time with both acceleratedRendering and the browser 
widget in LC 9.5. I can't fix acceleratedRendering but I think I'll try 
going back to the original mobileCreate method and see if that works 
better. On my Pixel the widget freezes and Android puts up its "not 
responding" error dialog after the user navigates around a few pages. It 
doesn't behave correctly when changing stacks and remains visible after the 
new stack opens, obscuring the card. It also freezes when the back history 
is exhausted. I was curious if setting the URL with its launch command 
would be different.

I badly need to be able to respond to the backKey too, but apparently 
that's not possible. The widget eats it. As for acceleratedRendering, it's 
broken. I had to turn it off completely.

I'm stuck with 9.5 because I have to build for 64-bit.
