So this will automatically be Chrom(ium) on newer versions of Android?


Yeap, it is already Chromium WebView since 4.4 :) But the performance lags behind bleeding edge Chrome since Google gives its own Chrome a more advanced version of Chromium WebView.


How did you handle file chooser? As far as I know, WebView disabled fileChooser by 4.4 [1]. This is a problem which we came across today.

Lags behind Chrome in general in that AndroidWebview doesn't gets single process Chromium, right?


*multiprocess


You can build and link in chromium's webview if you want.
