    No? Firefox on Android. I doubt the browser is your problem.

        Post title: “app”. The official app requires Chrome to be installed for login.

        You can use the web version on whatever.

        Is there an official Android app? All I can see are various third-party bits and pieces. I’d rather use the browser than trust those.

    What browser are you using? I haven’t faced this from Kiwi Browser or the Fennec F-Droid build of Firefox.

      I use Mull and since it’s Graphene OS, there is also vanadium (chromium based). I try fennec, but I think it’s because Graphene uses a lot to block other google services.

      Edit: maybe because I have vanadium webview instead of android webview

      This is c/privacy, so I must ask: do you know about Kiwi’s shady practices?

      In the past they redirected searches through their own servers, disabled adblockers on search result pages, and they were also caught contemplating about farming attention and directing users to partners.
      I don’t know if they are still doing these, to be clear.

      If you didn’t know this, and now searching for an other browser, the repo of these issues is an app that that is basically a browser repository, and it can update browsers and such, but more importantly it has short privacy notes on each supported browser.

    It’s likely requiring some “integrity API” (DRM check)

    Source- I’ve seen similar things doing Android mobile dev

      I use the play services sandboxed from Graphene. Other DRM checking apps have no problems.

    in order to use this privacy sapping service, you need to install this privacy sapping app

    Seems about right

    Is it because you have Chrome WebView disabled? So it’s not finding a supported WebView to use?

        That’s not going to be a problem in March 2024 when Apple will have to allow third party stores. Thank you EU and its Digital Markets Act <3

          I have totally forgot about it. I don’t have any Apple devices, but I’m interested in how that will turn out.
