State of Cromite webview

[HarriBuh]

Since open webview (https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/open_webview/releases/tag/v2.5.2) now officially supports Cromite Webview, I tried it and it seems to work just well.

But I've got two complaints:

1. The name of the webview is too random/ too similar to the original:
   

It should be properly named after the developer, just like DivestOS names its own webview "Mulch System WebView", to stop the confusion.

2. Cromite WebView should get its own repo, just like the aforementioned Mulch WebView, so one will be able to keep it up to date.

=> Mulch System Webview won't be updated anymore. Tavi from Divested Computing Group has stopped to develop all mobile apps and DivestOS: https://divestos.org/pages/news.
=> I agree to change the name of Cromite Webview from "Android System Webview" / "com.android.webview" to "Cromite System Webview" / "org.cromite.cromitewebview" to install it as additional System Webview.

These are just horrible news! So no more Mull maintenance either, I guess. Thanks for the info anyway.

I agree, despite successful instalation the Cromite WV does not even appear in WebView Implementation list.

• It would be the best to implement Cromite Webview in the F-Droid repository (as the Cromite bowser) and the Cromite Webview would be installed as a 2nd entry in Settings > System > Developer options > Webview implementation and selected as the active one.

• That's the example and source code of Mulch System Webview how it's managed there: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mulch

I discovered that "com.android.webview" is the identical package ID name of the original Android System Webview as of the Cromite Webview.

We already found that out. It's actually one of the reasons why I opened this ticket. You should read through the thread before posting.
