- kyriakos 5y agothis and the fact that browser engine updates are not bound to OS updates. Android phones may not get such very long term OEM support as iPhones but the browser is a big attack surface and being able to update it frequently without full OS update is a big plus.

- fsflover 5y agoIf this is the most important thing to you, then I'd like to say that on a GNU/Linux phone you can install desktop Firefox with any desktop plugins.
- salamandersauce 5y agoAs fun as that was to do on my Palm Pre for about 5 minutes back in the day I doubt it's much more practical on a modern phone even with the bigger displays and faster devices. Can you use the mobile interface on desktop Firefox?
- fsflover 5y agoI can use desktop Firefox on my Pinephone just fine. It scales very well to the screen size.
