Google Chrome's Web Environment Integrity feature has been cancelled (9to5google.com)

While WEI is thankfully cancelled, it's not entirely cancelled... They're planning on making it available still in WebViews with the intention that websites can check if a malicious Android app is trying to do a phishing scheme.

Seems like such a niche "security" feature... what are they really trying to accomplish here? Something seems fishy to me

It does replace system webview.

Both Vanadium and Mulch are powerful. Mulch is Divest os default vebview and is using Vanadium patches. While the Vanadium is Graphene one.

I stick with Mulch, because I added divest repo to Droidify, so I can upgrade webview as soon new update comes out. No need to wait for module update.

Haven't found a good way to easily update Vanadium. On XDA module's thread you can read about it.

Yeah I know the projects. GrapheneOS hates F-Droid which is annoying, but I am 100% sure its the more secure and complete OS. DivestOS probably has more user-facing features.

I think every Custom ROM should build on top of GrapheneOS, extend the device list (with worse security but only for some threat models) and add better apps.

Here you get the GrapheneOS apps (very few): https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Apps/releases

GrapheneOSses Appstore might be able to update the webview?
