Just built it from source while waiting for Google to approve the app, and it’s great. I had to use Firefox for the PWA because I need links to open in firefox when I click on them, but Firefox doesn’t handle PWAs vey well. The native app fixes all these problems. Excited for it to be on the Google Play Store!

Also [email protected] will you upload the android app to F-droid? It would be nice to have it there rather than having to install it from the play store.

    Firefox for mobile is so broken compared to Chrome it’s frustrating… sometimes I find myself having to switch to Chrome from it for stupid reasons like a single date picker vital to a part of a site is broken or a site runs monumentally slow for no reason, but on the chrome mobile app it just works. feels dirty having to use chrome every now and then >_>

      Really? I haven’t used chrome on a phone in… I’m not sure how long. Since pre-pandemic, anyway.

      That said, I spend a lot of time on a laptop, so maybe I just don’t use as many sites through the mobile browser. I DO sometimes use Edge or Brave on my laptop because sites don’t work. It isn’t so much the browser is broken as the sites, though.

        Firefox on PC is great! It’s their mobile version that is broken.

      As a ex-web developer: it is not Firefox that is broken, but those sites. They optimize for Chome and don’t check firefox. I don’t blame them, considering percentage of users, but it is not FF fault.

      Google’s apps are especially slower than in chrome

      Yeah definitely can relate. I’m kinda stuck using it cause I need my bookmarks to sync with my computer, but it is pretty buggy.
