# Webview Manager
### The premier systemless solution for changing default browser and WebView.

#### NOTE: We're working on an app replacement for this module. This module will receive no more feature updates.
#### Any forks bearing our name, logos, or code are not authorized by Androidacy, and should be treated with caution.

Androidacy has become aware of forks that may use our code without credit or without giving back to the original project in any way, while claiming to be superior. While this module is open source, Androidacy does not condone such usage of open source work. When Androidacy uses open source work, we always ensure to give credit where credit is due, and we ask that other ecosystem participants do the same.

## What is this?

With this module, you can install several different default browsers and webviews. Choices are presented during install.

Different webviews and browser have additional advantages to the default ones: they are often more up to date, secure, privacy friendly, and better performing!

The module will always download the latest version of the webview and/or browser, to update it just reflash the module!

The latest update should now work on all ROMs Android v7.0+. ROMs versions 5.x to 6.x are not explicitly supported. Overly customized OEM ROMs such as MIUI have limited support. Android 13+ should not be considered supported.

## What is a WebView?

Webview is a shared component between apps to display web content instead of directing to a browser. It's like a minimal browser, but for non-browsers that display web content in any other way than sending you to a browser or custom tab, apps that use it include email, wewbview wrapper apps, or even some banking apps. Even the Google app uses a webview.

**PLEASE NOTE SOME APPS WON'T WORK WITHOUT GOOGLE'S OWN WEBVIEW**. We can't fix that and any issues on it will be closed and ignored. Complain to the app developer, not us. Specifically, GMS based sign in with Google won't work with Bromite or Ungoogled Chromium as they neuter most Google APIs.
