Yes, if you are trying to cover that case, then you must absolutely find a mobile library that can potentially support any of the installable browsers in mobile devices. The important case to always keep in mind I would say is over engineering. Unless it's a requirement from the client, I would ask myself the question, what percentage of the market am I trying to support? Ideally the answer would be 100%, reality it's a different story. This is more the case since mobile web is fairly young. Even the web after all these years would be a nightmare if you removed GWT and libraries like it that have tried to make the developer experience better by hiding the browser differences or better said quirks.
About a year and a half ago, perhaps more already, there was a point where the future of mobile web for developers looked bright. It was all going to be based on webkit or at least most of it and the world was going to be a happy place. Fast forward and we find a world where there is an incredible amount of fragmentation in the mobile market place with multiple versions of webkit, many don't exactly behaving consistently. Throw into the mix your request and it's almost starting to feel like we are right back to the web as we know it today where may browsers exists with difference in behavior not only between them but even among versions. Best of luck and wish your project the best.
