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 module will always download the latest version of the webview, to update it just reflash the module
The latest update should now work on all ROMs Android v7.0+. Any ROM Android v5.1+ should theoretically be compatible (beware issues on 5.x & 6.x).
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, apps that use it include Outlook or GoDaddy apps or even some banking apps. Even the Google app uses a webview
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.

This module downloads the latest bromite webview APK every time it is flashed. I will otherwise update when I have time. At any time, the latest beta if available can be downloaded by zipping the master branch of the upstream repository.
If you use F-Droid, you can add the bromite official F-Droid repository to keep the app updated

Here is our Discord
- Android 5.x to 10.0 (7.x+ recommended).
- With current tools Android 11 cannot be supported.
- MIUI is not officially supported unless someone is willing to share the overlays used in MIUI. I have mixed results from testers in how well it works.
- Magisk v18.2+ (No other root solution is supported, for forwards compatibility)
- Recommended to flash through magisk manager
