+## Display Mode
+
+This plugin supports two different platform view display modes. The default display mode is subject
+to change in the future, and will not be considered a breaking change, so if you want to ensure a
+specific mode, you can set it explicitly.
+
+### Texture Layer Hybrid Composition
+
+This is the current default mode for versions >=23. This is a new display mode used by most
+plugins starting with Flutter 3.0. This is more performant than Hybrid Composition, but has some
+limitations from using an Android [SurfaceTexture](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/SurfaceTexture).
+See:
+* https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/104889
+* https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/116954
+
+### Hybrid Composition
+
+This is the current default mode for versions <23. It ensures that the WebView will display and work
+as expected, at the cost of some performance. See:
+* https://flutter.dev/docs/development/platform-integration/platform-views#performance
+
+This can be configured for versions >=23 with
+`AndroidWebViewWidgetCreationParams.displayWithHybridComposition`. See https://pub.dev/packages/webview_flutter#platform-specific-features
+for more details on setting platform-specific features in the main plugin.
