for anyone using Mull on Android, since i’m using it that the webview i see in apps like Feeder seems to be using Mull, although when checking the implementation in Dev Options, it does look (from logo and name lol) like normal Chromium webview
what’s really going on here, and how could i have properly checked it myself?
EDIT: vain attempts at posting inline image instead of link to hoster
EDIT2: thanks to noodlejetski@lemm.ee with the image thing (dumb me thought [] was that rectangle character you get in some fields where that character is not recognized ಠᴗಠ )
Unfortunately Mull does not have it’s own WebView implementation. I believe Bromite/Cromite and Vanadium have their own, but your phone has to be rooted to change your default WebView.
Android 13 here and i can see a setting in developer options to change the WebView. Don’t know if it really works bc i don’t have other WebViews
The setting works, it’s just that you have to muck around with overlays or rooting the device for it to see/use other webviews
No it doesn’t, only system packages are admitted as viable options for WebView, hence the need for root privileges.
I managed to use this to get mulch webview working

No root required, it uses an overlay.
Neat! Thank you for sharing.
