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 aeharding@lemmy.world 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.
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.
