This will act as an alternative for the System WebView for the in-app browser for Facebook on Android. To help solve these issues – and following the precedent of browser vendors such as Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, and Mozilla Firefox who all ship custom browser engines on Android – we have been building and testing a separate Chromium-Based WebView for a few years. In addition, we also observed that, due to the way Android loads the System WebView, when users were updating the System WebView app, they were experiencing a Facebook app crash. Despite this, over the past few years, we’ve observed that many Android users are updating their Facebook app but not updating their Chrome and WebView apps, which may result in security risks and a negative user experience.įor example, people with outdated versions of the Chrome and WebView apps may be more susceptible to zero day exploits and other security holes that might have been fixed in newer versions of Chromium. On Android, this works differently, allowing the System WebView component and the Chrome app to be updated via Google Play instead of with operating system updates, which is preferable to ensure that users are able to access critical security updates. On other mobile operating systems, the System WebView component cannot be updated without updating the entire operating system.
