Godot Chrome
Godot Chrome is a plugin that exposes Android Webkit's API v1 to Godot Engine GDScript via Android Plugins. Users can create Embedded Chrome Webbrowser in godot engine
This Plugin Currently Works For The Godot 3.5 Branch and Newer. It Uses V1 Plugin Integration with .gdap files but uses godot's maven repository as a dependency in the projects's build.gradle files rather than the local aar files.
