Anyone using Mulch? Need 2 things from it
So I thought it would finally be smart to find a replacement for Bromite. I picked up Mulch, and after an initial shock (I didn't think Bromite has that many enhancements for the basic things), I'm still having two main problems:
-
Using Lemmy as a pwa doesn't keep me logged in. In the normal browsing mode it works, and so it does in Bromite (incl. pwa). I can't figure out what I could change. Ideas?
-
Background video doesn't play. Or rather, it always pauses when minimising the app, and I need to resume it in the notification. Stupidly annoying. I couldn't find a solution for this, as most results lead to "Chrome will allow bg video in a beta from 5 years ago" or similar. Can't it just keep playing? I'm not talking about YouTube btw.
These were the primary things I need a Chromium-based browser for, as FF doesn't play nice with pwa nor some video sites.
(I don't feel like installing Brave or similar. I installed Chromium and I booted it after 2 minutes of seeing all the Google crap.)

I don't use Mulch, but for PWAs, you coult totally use Native Alpha instead. Did you try that?
I'm not sure I want to use a webview-based browser.
Got it. Native Alpha is just specifically made for that and I think, it uses the system's webview.
So I'm now thinking, Jerboa is also a vebview app so it probably doesn't make much difference, if I'm using them for basically the same thing?
Hm. I'd still prefer to have a bit more of separation between the system and what's on a screen. Hardened browsers seem the best for that.
Jerboa is a Webview app? Seems pretty native to me.
Also, if you're rooted, you could use something like Webview Manager to use a hardened System Webview, which Native Alpha will then use for PWAs.
There's that bug with forcing some form of keyboard autocorrect and people are saying they can't do much about it as it's inherent to WebView. So that's where I have it from. Maybe I misunderstood.
And, sigh, no, I'm not rooted...
Oh shoot. Well, then, I'm out of answers for now. /u/ostrich, do you have an idea?
