So I thought it would finally be smart to find a replacement for Bromite. I picked up Mulch, and after an initial shock (I didn’t think Bromite has that many enhancements for the basic things), I’m still having two main problems:

  1. Using Lemmy as a pwa doesn’t keep me logged in. In the normal browsing mode it works, and so it does in Bromite (incl. pwa). I can’t figure out what I could change. Ideas?

  2. Background video doesn’t play. Or rather, it always pauses when minimising the app, and I need to resume it in the notification. Stupidly annoying. I couldn’t find a solution for this, as most results lead to “Chrome will allow bg video in a beta from 5 years ago” or similar. Can’t it just keep playing? I’m not talking about YouTube btw.

These were the primary things I need a Chromium-based browser for, as FF doesn’t play nice with pwa nor some video sites.

(I don’t feel like installing Brave or similar. I installed Chromium and I booted it after 2 minutes of seeing all the Google crap.)

    There’s that bug with forcing some form of keyboard autocorrect and people are saying they can’t do much about it as it’s inherent to WebView. So that’s where I have it from. Maybe I misunderstood.

    And, sigh, no, I’m not rooted…
