Is there a browser control / api for chrome that is usable on android, mac, microsoft?
please excuse the vocabulary, I'm new to mobile dev.
I have a single page website.
I want a mobile app that essentially just presents a chrome browser 'html/dom view' without any controls on it. No address bar, no favorites, no back forward, nothing... Just the view of the page.
I 'believe' I need something like:
Mac: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview
Android: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView
Windows: dunno yet.
Is there a dev guide / 'control' reference for some interface / class that exposes chrome in this way?
Or should I just run chrome with some magic command line options?
chrome://flags/
Thanks.

Not for chrome (note that android's webview is not chrome, its an independent tool based on the same chromium web browser). And not a single API. You'd have 1 API for each platform, at best.

An api per platform is fine. I'm just trying to find a single 'control' to use on each.
