Google has just released Chrome Canary for Android. Chrome Canary is the cutting edge version of the Chrome web browser by Google which has just been available for desktop devices previously.
Chrome users on Android who wanted to run development versions of the web browser had to use the beta or developer edition of Chrome for that until now.
The release of Chrome Canary for Android changes that as it makes available the most cutting edge but also the least stable version of Chrome.
The Google Play store listing of Chrome Canary lists the release as unstable. If you read on, you will notice further warnings. In particular, that the release has not been tested, and that it may be unstable, or fail to run at times.
Chrome Canary is the first version of Chrome that receives improvements and changes. These are then carried over to the Dev version of Chrome, then Beta, and finally to the Stable release version of the browser.
This means that it is ideal for enthusiasts, developers, and anyone else interested in running the most up to date version of Google Chrome on Android. Developers can test sites or applications with Chrome Canary earlier now than before, as Canary gets new feature additions and improvements before the Dev build.
The Chrome Canary page does not list compatibility information, only that it varies with devices. The browser installed fine on a Android 5.1.1 device.
Developers and enthusiasts can install Chrome Canary for Android next to other Chrome versions for Android. In fact, it is possible to install all four Chrome version -- Stable, Beta, Dev and Canary -- on the same device and use them independently of each other.

Now that the apks were modified to allow docking without the dock
IS there anyway we can replace Firefox with Google Chrome, or Chromium.
This would give us Chrome OS, and a much nicer browser.
Is it difficult?

Can't be done unless your completely rewrite chrome for ARM, or Google makes an ARM based Chrome browser that will work on phones.
There's no official chrome for arm, but there is a chromium-browser port for arm:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/
Chromium is the open source base that Google Chrome is built on
Posted in the wrong section, please follow the rules.
Thread will be moved.
You can do it!

A how to:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxChromiumArm
And a most recent build bot build:
http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/Arm/82626/
That last one is untested.. I'm thinking of giving it a try once I hack the webtop with Sogarths script.
Anyway ARM branch is part of the Chromium project, I know cause I build Chromium OS for ARM a few times and it requires Chromium browser.
If anyone has a bit of time and a big machine to build on, please let us know or post the .deb when your done!
Hi..
im so curious about this, what is the difference between:
1. AOSP Webview and Google Webview?
2. What are the advantages of them?
3. Which one is better (or suggest) to using in custom roms nougat?
i noticed, mostly all custom roms preinstalled with AOSP webview (as you can see it in dev. options on "webview implementation".) but once we donloaded google/android system webview in playstore it automatically replaced the AOSP webview with Google one. and theres no option to switch or choose between them.
4. does the Dev's or AOSP webview will always be updated?
(since google webview always does within playstore)
If anyone have ideas about them, a bit of explanations which one should i pick on custom rom, i would be much appreciated, and im sure people would like to know also, thanks a lot!
It honestly depends on the developers to update the WebView implementation themselves. The difference comes in that ROMs ship Chromiums implementation instead of Chromes meaning that we lack the proprietary stuff shipped in Google's standard WebView. You will also notice that Chrome can provide WebView features too. Often Canary is the best route to take on this as it provides the latest implementation of WebView, and in my experience, has been more than stable (WebView at least, the browser isn't excactly a joy)
I've found Google Webview to be more stable than some ROM's builds of AOSP Webview. If you notice apps using that little web browser within apps crashing more often than normal switch it.
I prefer the Android Web Viewer because its less invasive. MHO They may crash more because of google play's aggressiveness as an intrusive APP
Hey all,
I'm new to this forum but excited to be a part.
I have an application "*****ute" in the Google Play Store and here's the source code:
hxxps://github.com/hexag0d/*****ute_mobile_android_a2
My app uses Android WebKit WebView and since the Chrome 71 update, WebRTC no longer works inside the app. Does anyone know if it would be possible to downgrade to the Chrome 70 WebClient and what problems that would cause for other apps on the device?
WebRTC no longer works in Brave either.
Another question I have is if it's possible to force my WebView to use an older chrome client? Or, could I change the WebView to not use chromium?
This issue in Chromium supposedly won't be resolved until March, at the earliest.
Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you find any solution?
Hello,
I have an Iiyama ProLite TW1523AS-B1P Android screen. -> https://iiyama.com/gb_en/products/prolite-tw1523as-b1p/
It's a 15" touch screen that runs Android 8.1.0. without GMS. I want to use it as a dashboard for my Home Assistant setup. The only thing it needs to do is run some sort of Kiosk app/browser that points to my Home Assistant URL. I tried "Fully Kiosk Browser" and some other apps but my Home Assistant URL won't load, it appears that the Android Webview component is too old (61.0.3163.98).
But Iiyama never issued updates, the screen comes with Android 8.1 and that's it. I installed Aurora store and installed Chrome & Chrome Beta & the lastest Android Webview in the hope to adjust the WebView implementation to use anything other then Android Webview but it's the only option I get in the Developer Tools, I can only select the Android Webview, not the installed Chrome or Chrome Beta.
From the Fully Kiosk FAQ:
If you’ve installed the latest Android Webview and Google Chrome but Fully Kiosk still shows an outdated Webview version in the Device Info box (in Other Settings) your Android device likely has an AOSP ROM where you can’t update the Webview. The integrated Webview has another app ID (com.android.webview) than one provided by Google Play (com.google.android.webview). So the new Webview will be installed side by side but the old integrated Webview will still be used by Android system (and it’s app ID is hardcoded in Android OS). There is a workaround for rooted devices however it’s very complicated to use.
I think that's my problem as well. I installed Magisk to try and root the device but it bricked it so I had to ask for a replacement screen, not sure if that will work every time Do I have any other options? I was really hoping that Android 8.1 was "new" enough to load my Home Assistant URL but apparently not, but I could not test it before trying the screen so now I'm a bit stuck with this screen, hoping to update the webview component or change it to Google Chrome so it loads my Home Assistant URL. Thanks!
Greetings, this is my first post here.
So, I just found a dust-covered GT-P7500 running Android 4, and I kinda wanted to revive it for something. So I just followed the manual, installing twrp and stuffs etc, but I have only 1 problem: A stable ROM.
I have tried the AOSP 7.1 with Gapps but it became unusable when popups saying "google play services keeps crashing" keeps coming up every 15 seconds or literally every app I open. And it also suffered massive amount of lags, app crash etc. I have tried to combat with no-google by downloading f-droid and install some stuffs I use on a daily basis, but the annoying crash notifications are just not worth it.
Is there any good custom ROM for my tablet? Preferably Android <= 7.0. Thanks in advance.
Hello, did you try without any gapps ?
Mine runs very stable with nogapps AOSP 7.1.2.
I don't even remember when I last updated it...
I only use it for web browsing. I installed decatf chromium from:
