The Bromite project has been inactive for the last 9 months or so. Today I found this fork of Bromite that’s well maintained and seems to work flawlessly. Hope it helps others who were looking for a replacement.

Can’t use Firefox as system webview sadly.
If you disable chrome and only have Firefox on it will use Firefox webview. Android should have make it use default browser or have a selection for default webview.
There is a selection in developer settings and it does not list Firefox.
Disabling Chromium or not having it in the first place simply makes apps that use WebView crash.
I don’t see it as n option in webview under dev settings but… it uses it I believe? Screenshot
What’s shown in this picture has nothing to do with WebViews, it’s a custom tab.
Try opening an app that has a WebView. I can’t think of a good example on the top of my head but the Deutsche Bahn Navigator uses them and crashes without a WebView present.
Ah TIL. From the user perspective they have similarities, but developer side they got some different use cases. Thanks for the references!
I find mobile FF does have a webview component (aka custom tabs), but it must be explicitly called for in a app’s setting. Otherwise the system only uses the Chrome webview.
I even installed the Mulch webview app. But the system still used Chrome’s webview; that’s until i temporarily disabled Chome. It was then Mulch shows up in deveolper settings.
