They want you to install the app so they cand send you notifications/ads.
Yup. That plus steal all your contacts and anything else they can get direct or indirect permissions for.

Definitely! I work at a computer 8-10 hours per day, 5 days a week. The last thing I want to do when I'm done working is sit at computer some more. I do almost all of my browsing on my phone. Firefox Mobile Nightly, plus NextDNS, plus Nord VPN, plus uBlock origin, plus a fake user agent string. I'm pretty secure on my phone.
Bruh. Phones are just essentially ARM + Linux pocket PCs.
