Also experiencing this. Let me know if there's more info I can provide. @MoritzKa did you find a workaround in Kiwi?

@weex , We are looking into how we can make Alby compatible with Firefox instead of Kiwi now, because Firefox seems a bit more stable and has bigger adoption. Unfortunately the mobile browser of Firefox does not support all necessary APIs. So we need to try out different things and see how it works. But the work is started :-) Another topic: I saw you are working on a Fediverse project to improve development processes. Do you think adding payment functionality to the protocol could incentivize developers building on Fediverse? There is this spec. But maybe we can switch to email ([email protected]). I am very interested in your thoughts on that.

I don't have a strong opinion but philosophically like to see more proposals than fewer. I figure if it's well done, the market will pick it up and it'll help things develop. Feel free to ping me on socialhub or in the FEP repo with any other questions.

Running into this same issue trying to connect to snort.social . Newest Kiwi browser version seems to have borked things.
