I caved in and installed a browser on my Kompakt

also suggest to mudita devs to consider replacing the webview implementation in mudita with aosmium.

The gold standard would be vanadium, but it include a lot of platform-specific hardening that could make it more difficult to port.

Aosmium is built to work on pretty any android based system, I think it will work without modifications.

It will be also possible to update it without requiring a full muditaos update, at least for “power users” (the same that will install a browser). It will just need to pull a new aosmium webview apk release and permit to update.

I also suggest another way to address this problem:

Just include AOSmium’s package name and signature (or any other trusted webview provider) in the system’s config_webview_packages.xml. This would allow users who have AOSmium installed (e.g., via the AXP.OS F-Droid repo) to manually select it under Settings > Developer Options > WebView implementation.

So users could just modify their webview implementation without root, and keeping it updated without modifying system/vendor apps.

@urszula would be great to have some developer attention on this topic, thank you very much! :slight_smile:

i have brave browser and user experience is terrible, like reading an b/w newspaper , which i like, because it doesnt suck you in, you jus check things like bus hours and item prices and that’s it.
