What do people use to browse this forum on their phones besides Tapatalk?

I am on my phone while making this post. I don't use Tapatalk.

I'm not getting ads in Tapatalk, but it's annoying the crap out of me with some constant pop-ups about "giving kin,"  whatever that is. I've tried to ignore it, but I gather it's something similar to the reputation points some fora use.

Lately I've normally used my phone's browser to view the forum unless I want to upload a photo, in which case I go to Tapatalk.

No Tapatalk for me. I just use Safari on my iPhone 6s.

Safari on an iPhone.  Works just fine.

When I sneak in to grab the first post in a new year while most of you are still in the previous one, I do so from a phone, and I use the browser (Chrome in my case, which I also used on the desktop version until I got a new laptop, and at that point I switched back to Firefox). Otherwise I don't read this forum from my phone.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

I hardly ever use my cell phone to access this site but, when I do, I use the full website.

I just use Google Chrome on my phone.

I'll jump in on this bandwagon. Works just fine, although the scaling is a bit weird sometimes. Just have to zoom in/out as needed.

I use chrome when browsing on the phone, actually I've been using my phone a lot lately versus my laptop. I only use Tapatalk when posting pictures (which is the easiest method for me).

Yes, zooming in and out is a pain.  That's the main reason I hardly ever get on here by phone.
