Again: Android Stock browser vs. WebView?

Question

maybe a very easy question, but this drives me crazy... I work in company where we develope apps based on webviews. Everytime something went wrong, my boss tells me: "Hey look, the page runs nicely in the android browser, so it has to run that way in the app. Make it happen." I know that every manufacturer has his own implementation, discussed here: Android WebView VS Phone Browser

But i want to keep my question simple: Is the android stock browser a pimped webview or in other words, extends the android browser from webview-class ? Thanks for any response?

I had some issues while I was working with turn.js, I googled and asked on stackoverflow, most of guys told me that android stock browser is not based on webView, and worse is that webview most likely an internet explorer to android.
