Repository information

This repository contains the upstream official fork of the Bromite Systemless Webview.

This module was created and is still maintained by @alexa-v2 on the corresponding Magisk module repository; that is however not an official Bromite project.

Bromite Systemless Webview

This module allows you to install Bromite SystemWebView systemless-ly. Most useful features of Bromite are that you can block ads, trackers and resist fingerprinting; see the full features list here

The numbers after the dash in the version are the Bromite version used.

What is a WebView?

A WebView is like a minimal browser, but for non-browsers that display web content in any other way than sending you to a browser or custom tab, like Outlook or GoDaddy apps or even some banking apps.

PLEASE NOTE SOME APPS WON'T WORK WITHOUT GOOGLE WEBVIEW. I can't fix that and any issues on it will be closed and ignored.

Credits

Compatibility

  • Android 5 or higher
  • Magisk v18.2+
  • ONLY FLASH THROUGH MAGISK MANAGER AS IT REQUIRES AN INTERNET CONNECTION

Please note your ROM must support using com.android.webview as the WebView and not have a pinned signature for the app.

To see if it does:

From termux, under a non root ($) shell:

  • cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk ~

  • aapt d xmltree framework-res.apk res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml

The output should contain. com.android.webview and not contain a "E:" with a bunch of characters under that.

Support

Any issues with Bromite itself should be filed in the Bromite issue tracker.

Issues with the module should be filed here.
