Obviously sympathetic to the mothers position here. However, based on my limited understanding of how this stuff works, if content is being viewed on 'the dark web' it likely wouldn't be obvious to internet providers, nor would a kid who's savvy enough to be on the 'the dark web' in the first place be really prevented from finding a work around to any potential block in place.

I'm a parent. This stuff scares the crap out of me, but I'm not sure we can actually legislate this stuff out of existence.

Then you should actually read it.

It's not the default webview, and it now has an open issue with Google

Yes my friend, it is the default webview. That explains the bare bones look to it, the back button functionality, and the history or lack of. The default webview on android isn't a full fledged browser and isn't meant to be.

and it now has an open issue with Google

This is literally meaningless. You should see the amount of shite users raise on the issue tracker. What you, or the author, should do is link to the issue in question.

I note that the comments on Hacker News also aren't favourable to this.

Are you okay?

I note that the comments on Hacker News also aren't favourable to this.

Apart from being upvoted by an above average amount, the vast majority of comments talk about adjacent topics such as "I remember similar things with the NT login screen" or "WTF Google, bypassing the device restrictions is a bad thing."
