  • A browser is also an app, it’s not embedded into an OS.
    In some it comes preinstalled, which is the case for safari in ios.
    Also, some browsers just happen to include a PDF reader, but not all had or currently have.

    As @viking@infosec.pub mentioned, Android is meant to be lightweight so it can run in several configurations of hardware.
    Most OEM do include a browser in Android, this usually being Chrome. GrapheneOS is basically just Android (in this context) so it doesn’t include a browser or a PDF reader, but both are available as a dedicated app from the GrapheneOS team or with any other app you want, for example I use readera, or sometimes Firefox.
