WebView is nowadays built out of the +Chromium source tree which has been plagued by privacy and freedom issues. As a +fully free-software Android distribution, Replicant is exploring different paths +to create a WebView build that respects user's privacy and freedom. Our +tentative approaches go all the way from further cleaning the Chromium source +after projects like ungoogled-chromium, to fully replacing WebView by a shim +built around GeckoView. We will present our approaches on this lightning talk, +on the hopes of getting feedback from the community and engaging other projects +to collaborate with us. |
