Privacy Browser Android

Hello
Thank you for your great efforts.

As you know, chrome increased its minimum sdk to 23 amd left lolipop based phones insecure.

(Latest version of android system webview and most chromium based browsers for lollipop was 95.x and they discontinued support for lollipop in 96.x)

So in absence of a secure webview (and because most phones that still are in lolipop can't switch to firefox because probably they are very low end (for example we have several phones with lollipop that are still in active usage by their owners in my relatives)

And recently again, a critical bug in chromium appeard:

So if may, please use ypur privacy webview also for lollipop also.

Thank you very much.
Best regards.

I was not aware of this, but it isn't surprising that Google is dropping support for older versions of Android as the maintenance burden to make it work with older versions increases with each year.

If this were easy to do I would happily do it. But, as Privacy WebView will be a rolling fork of Android's WebView that makes rather minor modifications to expose controls that exist in the WebView source code but are not available as public APIs, it won't be possible to support versions of Android that are older than what the upstream WebView supports. Doing so would require a team of programmers just working on Pirvacy WebView full time (probably on the order of several millions of dollars per year worth of labor) to backport features and security fixes into the older code base.

Oh, I See.
I understand.
Thank you very much.
