Force Google to use firefox for "webview" on android

Money shot

All that investment hehe

This would be so good. As someone who fully switched to Firefox on Android I hate that chrome webview is a thing.

Closest without rooting is to "uninstall updates" to the chrome app in the menu which makes it "APK Stub" instead of Chrome, ans then disabling Android Webview.

"Vanadium isn't yet officially available for users outside GrapheneOS, although we plan to do that eventually. It won't be able to provide the WebView outside GrapheneOS and will have missing hardening and other features" from their github
