    That’s one way of trying to achieve planned obsolescence, but at the same time Android 8 is 6 years old now and I imagine the API might be too different for the devs to justify maintaining builds for it? I wonder what other browsers are still being made for Android 8, apparently Firefox?

      and only Firefox. Because if Chrome stops supporting the API, so does Chromium. So Opera, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Samsung browser and a long etc will also stop supporting the older APIs too.
