GeezerVison is showing en.wikipedia.org — WebView - Wikipedia

A WebView is a web browser that is embedded within an app. Thus, a WebView is a large-scale software component that enables the use of web content within apps.[1] In some cases, the entire functionality of the app is implemented this way.

The prominent ones are bundled in operating systems:

  • Android System WebView, based on Google Chrome[2]
  • Apple's WebView for its devices, based on its Safari browser[1]
  • Microsoft Edge WebView2[3]

Other examples are Microsoft's legacy WebView, based on its deprecated EdgeHTML and MSHTML engines, and the WebView component in JavaFX.
