I just tested it again on my Fairphone 5 and it's still slow. I'm not talking about the UI but the rendering of maps. Unless they somehow manage to fix that, it'll keep being a poor experience.

Did osmand change its rendering engine to make it as smooth as OM?

I have decided against Aura because it splits the commands for AUR from the standard repos. With paru I can upgrade both by running just paru. In the end, that's all I mostly do with an aur helper.

It also means that the rendering will potentially be different on each platform given they all use different native webviews (and there's no "native" webview on Linux but WebKit-gtk is the most widely used one)

From what I can gather, they don't intend on adding multi device capabilities for technical reasons. A big requirement for me is to be able to use both mobile and desktop without losing the history.

Well, Opera is also based on Chromium.

They plan a release for 2028. It's going to be a while before it can be used for everyday browsing.

Jump ship to what? Not like there's s lot of choices out there. You could always try LibreWolf.

Not really. Helix is closer to Kakoune which is based on the modal editing of Vim but reimagined a bit.

Works fine here on Fennec (Firefox android fork).

I'm pretty satisfied with Fluffy but the clients do still need a lot of work indeed.

There's a pretty simple reason. It's that developers don't have to spend the time to package for every single distro. I know I wouldn't, I'd just focus on packaging for the distro that I use and flatpak. Having flatpak also means that some less known distros start with a big amount of apps available from the get go with flatpak.
