Does anyone know the split of Amazon's mobile app versus mobile web and desktop use? This won't have an impact on their proprietary app and that's a shame.

i've found that firefox on android is one of my favorite apps, even replacing native apps in many cases.

I watch YouTube without ads all through Firefox

You should look into Revanced.

I also entirely watch YouTube through Firefox. I've had no need to consider a different app for YouTube because of it

i like jerboa for handling any actual conversations i get into, but the search is worthless so i have some custom search engines configured just for lemmy:

The question you're responding to isn't about the mobile app for Firefox; it's about the mobile app for Amazon. Apparently lots of other people misread that too, so at least you're in good company.

i know it's about the mobile app for amazon. i'm trying to suggest that people who use firefox are more likely to skip the amazon app anyway.
