Google+ might finally be getting Chrome Custom Tabs support

Chrome Custom Tabs is a recent Android feature that allows apps to open third-party content in Google Chrome without kicking users out of the app. This is preferential to webview because it allows users to browse content with their cookies and history, and it's preferential to taking you to the Chrome app because it's less load on your device and allows you to browse the content without much interruption.

That feature seems to finally be heading to the Google+ app for Android. A couple of users have reported seeing the feature, though it seems to be a server side switch as some folks on the latest versions of both Google+ and Google Chrome aren't seeing it.
