No, actually. Thanks for letting me know about that.
Regardless, my point stands: If I'm writing an app and I use a WebView or a Chrome Custom Tab, I'm going to want to know, for certain, that someone isn't switching out the underlying rendering engine.
- kuschku 11y agoWell, but that’s the entire point of Chrome Custom Tabs. There are even Presto and Gecko based implementations of it.
- SomeCallMeTim 11y agoThe "point" of Chrome Custom Tabs seems to be performance and better integration with the system browser. I see that it's done via Intent, so it could potentially be swapped out, so you're right. So then WebView is more of what I'm talking about, for when you want tight integration, or creating something like a Cordova app (though you can bundle a Cordova app with Crosswalk to sidestep WebView differences entirely); looks like Chrome Custom Tabs is more for when you want a good web experience, not a good embedded app experience.
