Honestly, yes.

More information available at once, more fine user control, less chance of fucking up. If you're going to be spending big, at least make sure what you're doing is the thing you wanted. Desktop sites are still superior in that regard. Until the mobile-first trend turns everything into an enshittified mess, that's the way I'll keep doing things.

Planning anything on a phone is a fucking chore. Can't even multitask without being annoyed by how inefficient it is.

I feel this in my bones.

If it's important it goes to the biggest screen available.

I can't do research and check different prices on a tiny screen

I didn't even realize there were other possibilities. Certain tasks require a laptop... until one day I saw a friend working on a spreadsheet on his phone! He said he was too lazy to work on the spreadsheet on his laptop. These people exist?!

Also you need that sweet sweet adblock and the cookie-resetter plugin to stop them jacking up the prices when you visit the page more than once

Right now I'm just using Firefox and uBlock origin.

Sometimes stuff like privacy Badger.

Firefox mobile just got a "clear all" button, and you can put ublock origin on it on android.

Firefox-focus works on iOS and has a clear all, and some light adblocking. But not as good as the regular android one.
