Android WebView Browser

A WebView-based browser for testing on Android.

Android has system WebViews that differ in subtle ways from typical browsers. This app gives you a WebView with some browser chrome and exposed settings, so you can test pages or sites in a convenient way.

You can inspect the WebView loaded in the app by enabling USB Debugging or Wireless Debugging on Android, connecting your device to your computer, and then navigating to chrome://inspect/#devices in Chrome. You'll be provided with full browser DevTools. The experience is the same as opening DevTools for a standard Chromium-based browser or WebView.
