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.
I use Via on my Android 2.3.7 device. What is using there?
To be honest I expected maybe it had something else. But you are right, it just uses a never updated very old build bundled in the OS.
