Generally use Firefox but I use Chrome for pwas because Firefox's implementation is kinda trash right now.

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?
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But the Chromium base is outdated (3 major releases behind).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.
Brave because Firefox can't be bothered to pull the favicon and make it the icon on my home screen.
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
Firefox Nightly. No issues pulling the icon as others have complained. It is janky: routine crashes after launching it, or getting an unending black screen at startup.
I put up with that kind of stuff because I want to read articles from Firefox, where I have add-ons like ~unlock~ ublock, and opening links externally from chrome was awful, typically resulting in the PWA returning to the home screen after doing so.
Assuming you mean "uBlock" that works on Beta nowadays (and maybe stable?). I'm using Beta and it works great.
Yes, thank you! I like Nightly because I get the latest features, even if it means that every so often my browser crashes non-stop. I've made judicious use of the custom add-ons list to enable more than the six (?) defaults. It's great.
Firefox's PWA is really bad, so I am just using brave for it. You can actually disable all "extra" features from Brave.
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.
I'm using Chrome PWA from my own self-hosted docker instance of Voyager. Feels nice and smooth

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.
Default Firefox, works good enough for me. Doesn't have the proper icon on the home screen tho
Opera, it was the default installed on my system. I tried Opera GX but the interface was all fucked up.
