      What ROM and what method did you use to install it?

      On my ROMs/devices the zip from the link I posted never worked. Since all of my ROMs (custom, not OEM stock) are rooted I just manually placed the overlay apk where it needed to be (usually /vendor/overlay/ and permission set to 644) and then installed Mulch WebView. Reboot for good measure and it was available under Developer Options.

      If not rooted then I figure the adb method should work.

      The aforementioned Open WebView magisk module, which I’ve used in the past for Bromite, fails to install currently.
