    Yes, if you use Firefox or one of its forks. They use a different engine.

    However, many things on Android rely on Android System Webview. Tons of apps use it to render content, my Lemmy client Voyager uses it. Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, all use it, your bank or phone service provider probably use it too.

    The browser is what provides the WebView in the first place, so yes.

      Android System Webview provides the Webview, not the browser.

      You do not need Webview for a browser to work.
