Hey thanks for chiming in!
**Why would a developer want to have an inappbrowser window with no close
button?**
Simple, because the inappbrowser should not be closed in the app I'm building
**As a user of the app, how would you close the inappbrowser?**
The user is not supposed to close it :-) The app is basically wrapping a web
app using the inappbrowser. It runs it's own javascriptcontext in the main
webview of the app. The main webview handles push notifications, log in
functionallity, sharing of content to the application from other apps on the
device, the inappbrowser show the web app. The user does al his/her work in the
web app.
**Why would this be an iOS specific feature only?**
On android, we just do not show the toolbar at all so the problem does not
exist there. But on ios, we want to retain the forward/backwards control of the
toolbar because ios has no backbutton in it's ui. So we want to have a toolbar
with just the navigational controls. current situation on ios is that you get
both, the nav controls and the close button.
**To me this seems like a very specific use case that doesn't warrant adding
it back to the main plugin repo.**
Of course it's a specific use case, i won't argue with that. But why not
offer the option when it's so easy to implement. Why limit ourselves to an 'all
or nothing' toolbar :-)

> On ios the toolbar has a close button and back/next buttons. You can disable
> the entire toolbar, but not disable the close button only.
> If a closebutton option is support, you can have a toolbar that only has the
> navigational buttons.
> I needed this for a project that needs to keep the inappbrowser opened at all
> times (so a close button should not be shown) but also requires to have
> navigational buttons of the toolbar.
