The OS needs a browser engine for its WebView, which many apps etc rely on.
On non Google Android releases these can pretty easily be swapped.
Possibly on Google Android as well.
- skinnymuch 4y agoPeople are talking about no browser. Not swapping them
- testTED 4y agoYes, I understand. I'm explaining that you need a WebView for basic functionality of many apps.
- Gigachad 4y agoThe out of the box experience with Android is that you can not replace the OS browser. The fact that you can recompile AOSP to have a different browser is not particularly noteworthy, you could do that for any mandatory component.
- testTED 4y agoNobody is talking about recompiling AOSP. It's a popup dialog.
