One thing I don't like is that there's nothing linking an apk with anything else. Like you click a pdf link in the app, it will not open a pdf viewer even if you install one in Welder because, as far as I know, all apk will be isolated from one another.
It would be better if it were some kind of sandbox where you could install several apk that could interact with each other. Hence using VirtuaBox and installing Android is best, unless you just want to run a simple apk in your browser for the convenience of it.

I'm want to run the Android Instagram app on my Win10 rig, because the Win10 Instagram app is severely handicapped and not full-featured for business use. Will this work or does anyone have a recommendation for a good Android emulator for Win10? Thanks.
