Which apps use WebView?
A couple years ago, Jeremy checked all the PRISM Break apps to see which ones
obviously used WebView. He doesn't have the exact numbers, but it was something
like a third. Now it's a half. So WebView is becoming increasingly prevelant,
and quickly.
What's the matter with Chromium?
* Chromium manipulates its extension API to prevent extensions from blocking
ads. They claim this is to prevent performance problems, which is a lie because
Mozilla already solved those performance problems in production via a tiny
tweak to the extension API that didn't impact ad blocking. Someone makes money
when browsers cripple ad blocking, and it's not you the user.
**Chromium is an antitrust violator and this harms the user's interests.**
* Chromium does everything in their power to prevent users from escaping the
certificate authority system for TLS. Whether it's DNSSEC/DANE/TLSA,
perspective verification, HPKP, manual key pinning, OS-level key pinning,
or Namecoin, you can be pretty sure that if a mechanism exists to verify
TLS certificates without fully trusting public CA's, the Chromium devs have
tried to kill it.
**Chromium is hostile to users' security.**
