Did you fix this? (should be fixed in 4.4+ webview, I think, if that's what you're using for all supported devices)

Just tested (using ejj.io/SOP.php), Javelin on my Note 3 isn't vulnerable.

So this will automatically be Chrom(ium) on newer versions of Android?

Yeap, it is already Chromium WebView since 4.4 :) But the performance lags behind bleeding edge Chrome since Google gives its own Chrome a more advanced version of Chromium WebView.

How did you handle file chooser? As far as I know, WebView disabled fileChooser by 4.4 [1]. This is a problem which we came across today.

Lags behind Chrome in general in that AndroidWebview doesn't gets single process Chromium, right?

*multiprocess

You can build and link in chromium's webview if you want.

Why not create a different rendering engine and replace HTML,CSS, JS ?
