I don't 👀 But also there's keychat or something that has a browser built in supporting nip07

to be fair I mostly do the same (stick with damus) but sometimes it's nice to peruse the other stuff. looks like we've been spoiled on iOS with Safari extensions, like signing and highlighting things on the web

So THAT'S the problem bunker solves. Tried Kiwi browser for this but extensions still didn't work right.

you shouldn't need to install other apps to use nostr apps. hopefully we can solve this with our nostr browser, at least in a small way for now.

we could make a notedeck app for that. then you could use damus Android as the signer

I guess but you can use another browser for sites that need extensions

i think for individuals that's great, but I like to think in terms of serving the most people and the types of apps they use, so we can scale nostr to a wider market

Unlike on desktop, where the Nostr ID is a browser extension, in Keychat, the browser (WebView) is an extension of the ID and BTC wallet.
Vanadium is Chromium based but with a lot of security and privacy changes. Because Vanadium is also the OS WebView you can run apps using WebView in a safer fashion, they benefit from such features: Also a control for WebView JIT per app to reduce a large JS JIT attack surface for them. Our PDF viewer is an example of a WebView app.
There is an android app called Amber. It's a nostr remote signer or nsec bunker, that stores your key remotely. I installed it from zap.store and now I am using it for almost all of my nostr log ins.
