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.

Why waste your time with this when Firefox exists?
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.
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.
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.
Because OP prefers Chromite, maybe? Just a wild guess...
I think people who prefer things other than what I prefer should be round up and shot.
Hope you forgot an "/s" somewhere
Nope, this is my genuine, unfiltered, dogshit opinion. I genuinely believe execution is the correct option when someone has a slight difference in preference compared to me.
Lol... Ok, cool 😅
