This is their mid-quality mobile web version (predominantly for smartphone users with non-native apps), they actively maintain it alongside all of their other platforms (including two other quality mobile web versions for less and greater bandwidth).
I think the mentality is about accessibility, not technology, it's just that a lot of what gets focused on coming out of the company is from the high-tech side.
- digi_owl 11y agoThey also have a "lite" app that can only be installed if you access the Android Play store from an Asian IP or similar. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.l... I wonder why they bother segregating it like that though. I would love to give it a spin, as i have found their main app to be hogging the CPU one too many times lately.
- glomph 11y agoYou can download the apk and it will work on any phone. So you can either trust somewhere like http://www.apkmirror.com/ http://www.apkmirror.com/ or use one of the various methods of ripping the apk from the play store. I use lite for notifications because my phone has limited space and I find the website to be good enough.
- digi_owl 11y agoAbout those notifications, apparently Opera Mini support them now. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.native https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini... Not sure i am a fan of their new interface though, and it is a proxy browser (pages get pre-processed on a Opera run server).
