Firefox doesn’t seem to do support it currently. Chrome and Brave do come up as options

I’m using a documentation framework that supports offline builds. It works well across browsers on desktop, but it’s not great on mobile.

Any recommendations?

Common Chromium variants are Vanadium or Cromite. But those are huge.

This is a fork of Jelly from LineageOS with supposed offline viewing capabilities, storing websites in its local data storage

Also Singlefile for Mull is nice.

Vanadium may have breakages only fixed in GrapheneOS

I would expect any browser to properly render a page, regardless of platform. Are you sure the page is mobile-friendly? Why do you say it’s “not great”?

I plan on experimenting with the suggestions posted here. That way I can narrow down where the problem is

The live website works on desktop and mobile. The offline folder works well on desktop, but it has issues on mobile, such as the search bar not working
