I used to upload and download my photos fine from my samsung mobile phone. This is being showed to me since the past 5 days all of a sudden.

Is it really a problem of my phone ??

You have an option in your settings to request "desktop mode" which may change this.

They probably want to increase the number of users on their app and are trying to force mobile users over, the "not powerful enough" statement is likely a lie.

"Not powerful enough" lol - BS excuse for wanting you to use the app. A different browser (most likely chromium due to compatibility reasons) would most likely fix it.

What browser do you use? If it needs a chromium browser, Brave would be sufficient, most likely. You might have to select it as a default browser app on your phone too.

They're flat out lying to you...

Most people would just stop trying to use that service at that point

I use Midori.

It opened on brave just now.

Midori is indeed Firefox based. As @lordbritishbusiness@lemmy.world mentioned, it might be worth quickly trying to switch to desktop mode (in the browser menu).

If that doesn't work, try switching to Brave.

If that doesn't work either, consider finding a new service, honestly, as this kind of user unfriendliness shouldn't be acceptable. try open an issue here.

Sounds like you don't need that shit app.

Ew, brave

I would think the chameleon extension would help bypass this if your using a Firefox based browser. Mines always set to fake being edge so websites think I'm not using Firefox.

Thanks 😊😊

That's the okay-est chromium-based browser I know. Any other you'd recommend instead?

Might want to specify that it didn't work with Midori, but it worked with Brave.

Also that the "not powerful enough" error be updated to the actual issue. I seriously don't believe power is part of the reason here, but I'm open to being proved wrong.

On Midori, it keeps on rolling. But on brave, it opened asap.

Any problem with Midori ??🤔🤔🤔

I just switched to Vivaldi recently and it seems to have a lot less of all the unwanted crap shipped with it

Works fine in fennec, which is an android firefox fork

The cynical possibility: perhaps due to being Firefox/Gecko-based, which usually entails being privacy-oriented

The statistical possibility: market share for Chromium browsers is so much bigger than Gecko's that developers didn't bother to implement compatibility after an update - or are experimenting to see if it's worthy it

The hopeful possibility: it was a glitch, the site or the browser having updated something that changed the user-agent or the expected one, and the site didn't know what to do with the current one.

Whatever might be the reason, the developers ought to have taken care of the browser aspect.

No chrome. Firefox.

I had the same problem with reddit. Apparently none of my browsers could run their powerful site so I had to download their app.

Just kidding. FUCK SPEZ

It's opening on Brave, but the photos are not uploading.

OPs already using something Firefox based, and it's not working. Sure something chromium isn't great, but it's not like it matters for a single web app.

Blocking html5 canvas improves privacy. The browser might be doing it due to that, in which case it can probably be allowed per site. Couldn't tell you how to do it in brave cause I don't like/use Brave, neither the software nor the Corp. Sorry. Could probably find something online when looking for 'Brave Android allow html5 canvas' or smth.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Cromite if you want something open source.
Cromite's degoogle chromium if ad blockers in cromite get detected.
Vivaldi seems okay but is closed source.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind next time I'm in need of a Chromium browser, thx :-)

ente has no reason to 'lie'. they aren't reddit or google with ads and tracking bullshit everywhere while shoveling hosted ai crap at every tap. it has e2e with user-controlled keys, optional on device 'ai' features, and is self-hostable.

optional on device ‘ai’ features

Oh ok

Definitely delete the all then
