Okay, it's fine. But face the fact that a lot of people use applications and there is a reason for it. It's not fluff. The situation on mobile browsers and their capabilities in comparison to native applications is quite straight forward. Web browsers can't compete. Yes it is getting better. But it's hardly a replacement. We're not there yet. Not even close.

yep, I ditched Facebook app and I am using web version on the phone. Experience is bad, bordering just tolerable.

I'm not a Facebook user myself, but I've heard that the Facebook website can now send notifications through the browser, effectively eliminating the need of a bloated, buggy app.

It's true and I find that feature very annoying. Of course I can turn it off, but they shouldn't turn it on by default IMO.

Me too, i use just the mobile version of facebook.com.

I know that exist Tinfoil if you concerned about privacy:
