What are you talking about? Embedded browsers use the system webview, provided by Chrome, Firefox, or whatever is configured.

Recent version of Android reverts the default webview to Android System WebView again.

Sure, Chrome on iOS is ‘only’ a 118 mb application! And much of that is also in Google Maps, the Google Docs apps etc.

Chrome on iOS isn't even a real thing, it's just an app embedding Safari like every other app with a webview (because Apple's draconian policies forbid alternate browser engines). All the other Google apps also have to use Safari for any web stuff.

I'm surprised such draconian policies still haven't been challenged in court like Microsoft or Google have.
