Facebook's mobile website works well enough. They keep pushing me to use their lite app, but I suspect it's not in my benefit. The web app is a bit buggy (only the first few photos load on an image post), but there's no reason to think that couldn't be fixed if they tried.

Given the choice, I'd use Facebook messenger in my phone's web browser but they block it.

I don't agree that a native app is a better experience, as it gives less control to me the user.

Maybe it's a better experience for product managers who want to increase my engagement and collect as much information on me as possible.
