Does it make a difference which one I use? I am using an old phone (~5 years old). Currently using liftoff! and connect. Feel like my phone is dying a lot quicker since I switched from using infinity for reddit a month or so ago

    Not according to my battery stats when I use Voyager ofc Chrome comes on top, but I get so much more SOT than using the Android apps.

    Proof of my usage with Voyager:

      I don’t think your test is objective.

      A browser made with native Java/Kotlin which then has to setup an environment for running HTML, Javascript and CSS, is obviously going to be slower and heavier on the battery, than an app made in just Java/Kotlin

      You don’t realise it because you have a fast enough phone probably. My 5 year old cheap ass phone can’t run Voyager or other PWAs without major stutters, but Jerboa works perfectly fine

        Fair enough, my phone is from 2019 but I often forget how painful navigation is in older hardware.
