Finally the webview uses Chromium instead of the native android browser. I've been waiting so long for this. I hope they find a way to roll it to more devices

Finally the webview uses Chromium instead of the native android browser. I've been waiting so long for this.
I hope they find a way to roll it to more devices really quickly so more people use the latest version. I guess its a big problem but there's plenty of value to google in finding that solution.
- AshleysBrain 13y agoIt doesn't support WebGL or WebAudio though, according to https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/webview/overview https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/webview/ove... - a big shame, since this still means it'll be poor for gaming, especially since HTML5 audio won't play unless in a touch event...!
- double051 13y agoThis is only for the WebView object embedded in Android apps. Chrome and Firefox have supported WebGL on Android for a long time.
- cheapsteak 13y agoHave they made it so users don't have to go to about:flags to manually turn it on anymore?
- rockdoe 13y agoFirefox for Android is finishing up a GeckoView that will essentially bring that capability to older devices, or WebAudio/WebGL for new ones.
