Hello everyone, I’m in search of a new Android browser. Currently, I’m using Via browser, which is lightweight and functions well with essential features. However, the only thing it lacks is a tracker library blocker. I’m contemplating switching to Mozilla Fennec, which does have a library blocker, but I’d prefer something as minimalistic as Via, which I believe is only around 2 MB in size

FAQ from https://github.com/tuyafeng/Via#faq
Which rendering engine does Via use?
Via uses the built-in WebView renderer included on the Android platform. On Android 5.0+ devices, the WebView implementation is usually Android System WebView (com.google.android.webview), you can update it in the Play Store for a better browsing experience. If you want to know the current WebView implementation and version of your device, you can click “Settings - About” in Via and tap on the Via logo to get the debugging information which contains the WebView information.
Yeah, so if it’s truly the download or install size you care about, then Via is a good choice in that regard (I know nothing else about it).
But in terms of program complexity and runtime resource usage, it is basically Google Chrome with a different UI.
