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.

    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.

          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!
