The Bromite project has been inactive for the last 9 months or so. Today I found this fork of Bromite that’s well maintained and seems to work flawlessly. Hope it helps others who were looking for a replacement.

      What’s shown in this picture has nothing to do with WebViews, it’s a custom tab.

      Try opening an app that has a WebView. I can’t think of a good example on the top of my head but the Deutsche Bahn Navigator uses them and crashes without a WebView present.

        Ah TIL. From the user perspective they have similarities, but developer side they got some different use cases. Thanks for the references!

      I find mobile FF does have a webview component (aka custom tabs), but it must be explicitly called for in a app’s setting. Otherwise the system only uses the Chrome webview.

      I even installed the Mulch webview app. But the system still used Chrome’s webview; that’s until i temporarily disabled Chome. It was then Mulch shows up in deveolper settings.
