Issue descriptionTHIS TEMPLATE IS FOR FILING BUGS ON THE ANDROID SYSTEM WEBVIEW. GENERAL WEB BUGS SHOULD BE FILED USING A DIFFERENT TEMPLATE! Device name: Any Android version: 5+ WebView version (from system settings -> Apps -> Android System WebView): Several Application: Any webview browser Application version: any URLs (if applicable): This is just a sample, I've seen it on other sites https://www.pelispedia.tv/pelicula/burlesque-heart-of-the-glitter-tribe/ Steps to reproduce: Open that on Chrome for Android and you'll see a list to select a video server. On any WebView browser you won't see the list. I noticed that on Chrome you don't get this error on the console but you do on the WebView: modernizr-2.8.3-respond-1.1.0.min.js?ver=1.2.0:81 Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token This is the line with the error: return f = ["", '"].join(""), l.id = h, (m ? l : n).innerHTML += f, n.appendChild(l), m || (n.style.background = "", n.style.overflow = "hidden", k = g.style.overflow, g.style.overflow = "hidden", g.appendChild(n)), i = c(l, a), m ? l.parentNode.removeChild(l) : (n.parentNode.removeChild(n), g.style.overflow = k), !!i Expected result: I expect this to work the same on Chrome and WebView. I'm attaching pictures of what I see on Chrome vs a random WebView browser.

I think I saw those errors on Chrome and WebView except for the modernizr-2.8.3-respond-1.1.0.min.js error. That one error was only on the WebView. I don't own that site so I can't correct the error, I'm just curious why it works on Chrome but not the WebView, particularly on 7+ where Chrome is the WebView. This isn't the only video site I've seen where videos don't work on the WebView but work on Chrome. Also I don't know if the modernizr-2.8.3-respond-1.1.0.min.js error is the cause of the issue, it is just the only difference I saw on the console.

I was able to repro this issue on webview shell browser and Du browser which uses webview. Looks like this is broken for long time, I see this issue on M58/58.0.3029.83 webview as well

> particularly on 7+ where Chrome is the WebView In general, this doesn't affect things much. SystemWebView (L-M) has nearly identical behavior to Monochrome (N+) (only differs for very unusual bugs). > Open that on Chrome for Android and you'll see a list to select a video server. On any WebView browser you won't see the list. I have no problems on WebView. Attaching screenshots using WebView test shell with WebView 67.0.3396.87 and 68.0.3440.33. I see the console logs too, but I don't think they're indications WebView has broken the site (although they probably are legitimate mistakes in the site). Carlos, do you still see the issues on your browser? If so, which browser? Can you try the attached APK?

Seems like that website is working fine again. I'll update this ticket in the future if I find new examples of this issue.

Ok, thanks! I'll close this as "working as intended" until we have another repro case (I'm CC'ed, so just update the ticket and I'll reopen it). |
