What's inside GeckoView

  1. What is GeckoView

    gh-pages

    GeckoView is a standalone, full-featured web engine component designed for Android applications. Unlike the standard Android WebView, which may have disabled Web APIs and inconsistent versions across devices, GeckoView provides:

    • Full Web API Support: Designed to expose the complete power of the Gecko engine (the engine powering Firefox).
    • Consistency: As a standalone library bundled with your application, it ensures the code you test is the exact code that runs on user devices.
    • Standards Compliance: High adherence to modern Web standards.
    • Versatility: Optimized for building mobile browsers but suitable for embedding as a web engine in any Android app.
