I have tried only brave(used till a few days ago) and fennec(firefox's fork)... For me brave's PWA was faster than fennec. I want to know your opinion about the browser you guys are using! The problem I am facing with brave is that it has features(reward system) that I don't want but lacks the features(dark mode) that I want.

Ps: First post here!

Brave because Firefox can't be bothered to pull the favicon and make it the icon on my home screen.

Huh? That's from m.lemmy.world

The problem is that firefox for some reason uses TLS 1.2 when pulling icons but vger.app only support's TLS 1.3.

Generally use Firefox but I use Chrome for pwas because Firefox's implementation is kinda trash right now.

Samsung Internet. Works like a charm.

PSA you don't need a Samsung device to use it. It works on all Android and is just made by Samsung. Probably the best browser on Android IMO.

But the Chromium base is outdated (3 major releases behind). So it is vulnerable.

Does it have adblock?

[–] habanhero@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, it supports a bunch of adblockers. ABP, Adguard and more.

Firefox's PWA is really bad, so I am just using brave for it. You can actually disable all "extra" features from Brave.

Firefox Nightly. No issues pulling the icon as others have complained. It is janky: routine crashes after launching it, or getting an unending black screen at startup.

I put up with that kind of stuff because I want to read articles from Firefox, where I have add-ons like ~unlock~ ublock, and opening links externally from chrome was awful, typically resulting in the PWA returning to the home screen after doing so.

Brave. Voyager's dark mode works just fine in it.

Voyager is incredibly snappy and smooth with it. Works far better than any native Android app at the moment. All of those seem to chug and lag occasionally, whereas Voyager as a PWA with Brave is like butter.

I use Voyager with Hermit. It can PWA any site and gives me fine grain control in the settings.

[–] hogart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Google Chrome. Firefox for everything else.

Opera, it was the default installed on my system. I tried Opera GX but the interface was all fucked up.
