Lol it is note possible what a joke. Notably this makes it harder to have of a superior third party password manager like Proton Pass (though there seems to be an autocomplete app as an alternative path), and an ad blocker. Fuck Google.

Also, Chromium is not available on Google Play by default, you can install the apk, but you will miss updates:

Personal knowledge base software recommendation threads:

TODO look into those more:

roamresearch.com/ no public graphs
nesslabs.com/roam-research-alternatives a bunch of open source alternatives to it
- Trillium Notes. Notable project! Pun unintended!
- Stroll giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html. How to publish? How to see tree?
- tiddlyroam joekroese.github.io/tiddlyroam/ graph rather than text searchable ToC. Public instance? Multiuser?
- Athens github.com/athensresearch/athens rudimentary WYSIWYG
- Logseq github.com/logseq/logseq no web interface/centralized server?
itsfoss.com/obsidian-markdown-editor. Closed source. They have an OK static website publication mechanism: publish.obsidian.md/ram-rachum-research/Public/Agents+aren't+objective+entities%2C+they're+a+model but leaf node view only for now, no cross source page render. They are committed to having plaintext source which is cool: twitter.com/kepano/status/1675626836821409792
.
But no upvotes/topics. Favorites could be used as upvotes, but it does not seem like you can favorite other people's work. It's just not their focus, will never be.
They have an education push: www.notion.so/product/notion-for-education but it's likely hopeless.
CherryTree github.com/giuspen/cherrytree written in C++, GTK, WYSIWYG
github.com/dullage/flatnotes: Python
github.com/usememos/memos: Go
github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan: Go
github.com/vnotex/vnote: C++
github.com/Laverna/laverna: JavaScript
github.com/taniarascia/takenote
github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet: TypeScript, Markdown, web-based WYSIWYG, focus on querying

Major downsides that most of those personal knowledge databases have:

very little/no focus on public publishing, which is the primary focus of OurBigBook.com
either limited or no multiuser features, e.g. edit protection and cross user topics
graph based instead of tree based. For books we need a single clear ordering of a tree. Graph should come as a secondary thing through tags.
