Crosswalk helps solve the fragmentation issue with Android, which means about 50% Android 4.1 ~ 4.4 users in the market need consistent experiences, Chrome WebView cannot do this. You can build applications without worrying so much about runtime differences and quirks: you only have one Crosswalk to deal with.
Crosswalk provides access to the full range of modern web APIs supported by Chrome. By contrast, the Android Chrome-based web view lacks some features which are available in Chrome on Android. On top of this, Crosswalk adds extra features which are not available in either Chrome or the Android webview, such as experimental support for SIMD and support for the Presentation API. Go back to your question, we keep optimizing the performance in Crosswalk and has better results than Chrome WebView in several kinds of web benchmarks, even on Android 5.0 and higher devices.

When running my Cordova app on it I see the WebView's useragent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 5.0.1; GT-I9500 Build/LRX22C; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/53.0.2785.124 Mobile Safari/537.36 Does CrossWalk's browser offer a faster JS and rendering engine than this default Chrome WebView? Many thanks Jeremy
