Not all webbrowsers are usable on a phone without hardware keyboard, here's an overview of browsers that are packaged in Alpine Linux and thus can be used with postmarketOS

chromium works works with sandbox disabled works blink

the ARMv7 column has been updated on 2019-07-15 with the Nokia N900 as test device. Falkon might work on devices with more memory.

Firefox

Add the MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 environment variable to make firefox handle touchscreen events properly.
