Apart from this, the difference is not that big, so we won’t get anything from it. Switching to a WebView-based solution would need some work on app stability and implementation of missing features, but it has big wins in filesystem space and consumes 35% less memory. WebView support is however not great and it will also add limitations on our operating system coverage.
