Also tried Mulch Webview, no issues.

I'm also wondering what happened to the downloaded Cromite webview.. since it didn't install. Is the apk still somewhere on my phone?

Oh, sorry, my bad, I missed an if statement. If you're wondering what happened to the Chrome webview, it was downloaded to a temporary directory, so when the installation is finished (successfully or not) it gets deleted.
Now I have pushed a bug fix, tomorrow I will test the changes and if it works I will release a new version

Another question: How will one be able to keep the different webviews up to date? Mulch offers his own repo on F-Droid, so it can be easily managed there, but what about the others?@F3FFO

You can follow github releases by adding .atom to the url (e.g. for cromite: https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases.atom) in any rss feed reader.

There is also obtainium to track-only some apps.

As I said in the README this module doesn't directly update the webview but if you want to update it you have to reinstall the module. And as @grm34 said you can follow releases using app like obtainium

Fixed. Thanks for this awesome mod. Little confused that cromite webview still called Android System Webview but that's not your side.

@F3FFO I've just tested it and I can't really tell whether it's working or not: After installing Cromite webview, every other webview (Mulch) got obviously deleted and the default webview doesn't look anything "special" but is named exactly like vanilla webview:

This can't be right, right?

Edit: It seems to be Cromite webview, though: But it really shouldn't be named just like the original...I guess it's not your mistake, but uazo's?

Yeah, I don't think is an error but a choise of the dev, however cromite webview has the same package name as as standard system webview
