Why waste your time with this when Firefox exists?
I want to use Firefox on Android, but it's simply not there yet. It's noticeably slower, some sites have broken layout, and I kinda hate their tan management system. I still have it installed, and willing to switch if it's capable enough, but sadly it's not.
It's the best browser on desktop though, by far.
Can't use Firefox as system webview sadly.
If you disable chrome and only have Firefox on it will use Firefox webview. Android should have make it use default browser or have a selection for default webview.
There is a selection in developer settings and it does not list Firefox.
Disabling Chromium or not having it in the first place simply makes apps that use WebView crash.
I don't see it as n option in webview under dev settings but.. it uses it I believe? Screenshot
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.
Does it allow playback of DRM media? I have some cough science websites that needs DRM for playback.
Yes, it does.
Cool. I hope it is released on Play Store if it is possible. If brave & kiwi can be released, I'm sure they can also release without issue.
I don't think they want to. I don't recall why, but you can probably find a discussions about this easily.
It's a bummer. If the app was good then I would have replaced Brave with it on my parent's devices.
