      Why even make a desktop app at this point? I get doing that if it has some inherent advantage over the web version, but why go through the trouble of making another program if it’s just gonna be the same but in electron?

        Think of all that lovely data and tracking you can slurp up when unconstrained by the browser sandbox.

    But what about mobile? I started using FF and I have to admit that Chrome is a better mobile experience. Brave isn’t for me either.

    Edit: lol I’m sorry my experience doesn’t match yours and I chose to ask a question.

      The Reddit hive mind behaviour is seeping through the cracks.

      For me personally, the experience is allowed to take a hit, hell even a major hit, if the browser respects me as a user. FF seems to be better on that front although I’ll confess I use Vanadium on my phone. Its GrapheneOS’ default browser.

      Firefox has ad blockers on mobile.

      That immediately makes the mobile web useable again.

    If you’re not a fan of Firefox right now, with the few odd decisions they’ve been making, try Floorp or Zen. They’re quite good forks of Firefox and don’t seem to have any of the recent Firefox oddness in them.
