Since Android Webview is Chromium, this reads to me like it's making it into Chrome anyway.
It's behind some restrictions, but now that it's deployed Google can
They'll probably do this in the future using a staged rollout similar to what they did for Youtube and adblockers.
The fact that it's making it into production means the only concession Google made was admitting that they know that some of us vocally oppose it.
I'd continue encouraging friends and family to use Firefox.
They'll simply call it Android 15. Market it as a major security standard to make Apple look less safe.
Using FF doesnt solve the Webview issue.
