[FR]: Add network connectivity check before launching Chrome Custom Tab #2110

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the problem

Currently, when someone taps on a news article card, the app immediately launches a Chrome Custom Tab without verifying whether an internet connection is available. If the device is offline, Chrome opens and displays its own network error page, taking the user outside of the app with no feedback

Describe the solution

Before calling "launchCustomChromeTab", verify network connectivity using the existing "NetworkMonitor" available in the app and show a Snackbar informing the user that an internet connection is required to open the article.
