Are you reading and posting in this forum on your mobile device? If so, I am curious as to what you are using to do so. The official [discourse Android client](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.discourse) has google integrations and some trackers, [from what I understand](https://forum.f-droid.org/t/does-fdroid-form-have-app/13820), and even though the iode blocker removes those, I wonder what alternatives are in use… Are people just using a browser? or PWA? or some other alternative?

Browser here also. I use it for several Discourse forums: this one, /e/OS, K9 Mail. I have all of those ‘installed’ on my launcher home screen. Why bother with an app when a browser shortcut does everything you need?
