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!

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.

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

But the Chromium base is outdated (3 major releases behind).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

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

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

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.

Assuming you mean “uBlock” that works on Beta nowadays (and maybe stable?). I’m using Beta and it works great.

Yes, thank you! I like Nightly because I get the latest features, even if it means that every so often my browser crashes non-stop. I’ve made judicious use of the custom add-ons list to enable more than the six (?) defaults. It’s great.

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