Yes, that was curious.  Has nobody noticed it not working on SoaS or

Correct, it starts Browse within the Wikipedia activity, using the
Browse activity source ... but a user would not be able to tell the
difference easily.

I've just tested; one can open Wikipedia activity, type google.com into
the location text field, and then start a Browse activity from the
activity ring ... result, two active web browsers.  A feature!  ;-)
