The new Google Play Developer Program Policies state that it is no longer allowed to publish web browsers that are based on WebView:

Do not post an app where the primary functionality is to:

Provide a webview of a website not owned or administered by you (unless you have permission from the website owner/administrator to do so)

I was thinking of developing a WebView-based web browser but now I see that this is no longer allowed.

Frankly, I find it insane to ask every website in existence for permission to display its content via a WebView based browser.

What are my options? Is there an alternative web kit that is as powerful as WebView?

android webview google-play
