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.

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

[–] AngryClosetMonkey@feddit.ch 2 points 2 years ago

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

Huh? That's from m.lemmy.world

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.

Does it have adblock?

[–] habanhero@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

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But the Chromium base is outdated (3 major releases behind).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

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

I'm using Chrome PWA from my own self-hosted docker instance of Voyager. Feels nice and smooth

[–] hogart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Google Chrome. Firefox for everything else.

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.

Default Firefox, works good enough for me. Doesn't have the proper icon on the home screen tho

Dark mode extension for any browser: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader

I'm using edge and it's working great. I used firefox for a little bit, it seemed ok when I used it, though a little slower. That was not long term though.
