What features are you missing?

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

For me, I l'd like to go into reader mode from custom tabs, for reader mode to sync with system color, and more colors on reader mode.

Also Material You/Dynamic Color for the UI would be awesome.

Improved PWA support would be nice, definitely lagging behind Chrome in terms of PWA implementation right now. Fission doesn't exist on Android yet, only desktop.

Have your collections be synced to your profile, which definitely seems like a design oversight right now.

Also better extension support since right now to add the non supported list it's a very complicated and convoluted process to do so that feels hacked in.

Regardless, I'm still very happy with the state of the Android browser and it by far beats out the other browsers imo. Stuff like uBlock Origin, much better reader mode then Chrome, and first party bottom toolbar puts it miles above the alternatives for me. Also because Firefox is awesome. I use a fork called Fennec which is just Firefox Stable without telemetry/analytics/proprietary blobs removed, and is available on f-droid.

For me, proper PWA support.

How is it not properly supported at the moment? Genuinely curious, I don't use PWAs a lot but when I have it has worked fine with Firefox.

The experience is not as smooth, it just looks snappier in Chrome. Also some features (like wake locks) are not supported.

Not sure, but Wiki has a bunch of footnotes that may explain

This is not so much related to "proper" PWA support, but you can't install PWAs as desktop apps from Firefox, whereas you can from Chrome/Edge. It's the only reason I use Edge, just to locally install PWAs.

I use this addon to get "installable" PWAs and it works great for me. I use three installed PWAs regularly and have several more installed.
