It would be a significant step towards "reaching and re-engaging users" if Google would make it possible to actually build a functional Chromium browser for Android. Since they've completely abandoned the default AOSP browser in favor of Chrome, there is no longer an up to date browser in AOSP.

My understanding is that there is a up to date Browser. The browser app has always been built with a WebView and the latest WebView is pointing to almost the tip of the development tree of Chromium.

While I really agree with the sentiment of this post, it should be noted that the aosp browser seems quite a bit updated since lollipop. It's nowhere as bad as it used to be.

We'll see how long it lasts.
