Hey I'm very unclear as to why it would be similar to cordova-android, since it sounds like FireOS already has support for a lot of what Cordova does. What does the current FireOS WebApp API look like, and how does it compare to Cordova? I thought they were already very similar.
Also, would the modifications to cordova-android mean that the WebView would be based on Chromium builds, and not the awful WebKit that's in Cordova by default?
