Turn off the "Data Saver" in settings of chrome!

How prevent Chrome mobile routing packets through US Compression proxy

Alternatively use Firefox for Android Beta

The things I have created recently for Bluesky: -
ATProtoViewer Android & Chrome PWA + iOS26 web app (confirmed) | QR Code
To Share PWA ~ Android Bluesky share feature | QR Code
ATProtocolHandler ~ Chrome extension to open at did urls ~ Available on CWS
