So I thought it would finally be smart to find a replacement for Bromite. I picked up Mulch, and after an initial shock (I didn’t think Bromite has that many enhancements for the basic things), I’m still having two main problems:

  1. Using Lemmy as a pwa doesn’t keep me logged in. In the normal browsing mode it works, and so it does in Bromite (incl. pwa). I can’t figure out what I could change. Ideas?

  2. Background video doesn’t play. Or rather, it always pauses when minimising the app, and I need to resume it in the notification. Stupidly annoying. I couldn’t find a solution for this, as most results lead to “Chrome will allow bg video in a beta from 5 years ago” or similar. Can’t it just keep playing? I’m not talking about YouTube btw.

These were the primary things I need a Chromium-based browser for, as FF doesn’t play nice with pwa nor some video sites.

(I don’t feel like installing Brave or similar. I installed Chromium and I booted it after 2 minutes of seeing all the Google crap.)

    Jerboa is a Webview app? Seems pretty native to me.

    Also, if you’re rooted, you could use something like Webview Manager to use a hardened System Webview, which Native Alpha will then use for PWAs.
