Chromium will eventually get rolled into Play Services: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/kitkat-release/core/java/android/webkit/WebViewFactoryProvider.java That seems to be confirmed: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=113088#c100 The good or bad news is WebView will eventually auto-update independent of Android releases. Still trying to figure out how it works, does anyone know where 'com.android.webview.chromium.WebViewChromiumFactoryProvider ' comes from? Is this from a built /system/framework/webviewchromium.jar ? Main implementation seems to be here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/chromium/+/trunk/android_webview/java/src/org/chromium/android_webview/AwContents.java
