jackFang What are the reasons that Chromium was picked for development of Vanadium, and not any other browser like Firefox -> Vanadium? Was there some sort of comparison happening in earlier days that was decided Chromium is the way to go? And what was the motivating factor
matchboxbananasynergy Android OSes need to have a Chromium browser, that's not optional. You need a WebView, and only Chromium browsers can provide that. Furthermore, Chromium browsers are much more secure than gecko-based browsers.
jackFang matchboxbananasynergy Nice. What does it mean its not optional? "Android OSes need to have a Chromium browser, that's not optional." For example you can install android OS (e.g. old classic, Lineageos) and not have installed chrome browser at all
matchboxbananasynergy jackFang Android OSes require a WebView. WebView is what apps that need to display web content use. That can only be provided by a Chromium browser. Even if you're uninstalling the chromium browser via ADB or something, the WebView is still there.
