    Cool, totally missed that. But the issue of running both still applies right? Double the code. Viewing a site in a app it will use the chrome one ? " Google does not allow a third party to implement the System WebView and the GeckoView API is not compatible with the WebView API in a very meaningful way unfortunately, so this is not possible. "

    I should probably specified android webview in my original comment…

      Viewing websites in Firefox for Android will use GeckoView and GeckoView only.

      Android System WebView is only involved when other applications (not Firefox) calls the WebView API to display web pages. (e.g. when a Lemmy app opens an external link without launching a browser).
