    Do you use Android? Chrome is the native WebView that a good chunk of your apps use.

    Wait… so you are talking about webviews when I was talking about the actual browser? Lmao… talk about a false equivalency.

    This is got many advantages and many disavantages. If you dislike it, fair enough - but let’s not pretend this is unusual or somehow unjustifiable.

    I’m talking about forcing the actual browser installation. Nothing you said has countered this, Android doesn’t force Chrome to be installed for webviews in applications. The webview class is nothing close to being a full browser, and certainly doesn’t require a browser to be installed to use it. If anything, that is an example of the right way to do it… having a separate class, that is not dependent on the actual browser installation.

    Yes, please go on, I can’t wait to hear more of your ridiculous takes.
