I don't really know much about it, but there is already GeckoView, allowing you to package a better browser in your app: https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/
I have noticed it in Allan Wang experimental/toy repo https://github.com/AllanWang/GeckoView-Playground and with a few changes, I created a trivial "app" for Facebook Messenger (wrapping its web version to a mobile app).

LinkSheet [1] can do that. It's a small app that you set as the default browser and shows a prompt when you open a link to allow you to choose what to do (eg. open in browser, open in app, share link, remove tracking URL parameters, etc.).
If you don't care about any of the extra functionality, you can configure it to always open your preferred browser and convert Custom Tabs intents to regular ones. No root access required.

Fenix
Discontinued ⚠️ Fenix (Firefox for Android) moved to a new repository. It is now developed and maintained as part of: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android
Since Fenix's first release they've been saying that the absurd limitations on add-ons support were only temporary, and they would have quickly increased the number of supported ones.
And instead absolutely nothing changed for three years.
Furthermore the insane bugs from which Fenix suffers from its release (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731) (making it unbearable) have been left hanging, focusing the few resources on dumb ui experiments.
So everything suggested that Mozilla did not care of its Android browser, or actually that they were deliberately sabotaging it.
This news instead represents a huge improvement, hence my bewilderment.
I don't know what people who downvoted my message thought I meant.
