Seems to be more stable than Stock Webview.Have also options to tweak Flags on App Settings(Google,forum search)For the moment,i'm satisfy with that.

Most recent release as of today's date causes webview to crash repeatedly. Uninstalling updates still caused crashing. Fix it, or I will develop a competitor program as you read this and release it free and open source to the public. Update: I have developed "OpenWebView" or OWB for short and will be finalizing the project. It will be available publicly by tonight. Mainstream AI states OWB beats all other current webview products in stability, functionality, clarity, and ease of use.
