My piece of advice in general on flying with Ryanair: Don't.

In case you have a choice, I've found Wizzair to be more enjoyable than Ryanair as far as low cost companies are concerned, for even better prices (of course, this likely depends a lot on the routes as well).

Has anyone tried booking a flight with Ryanair using the Jolla's stock browser?
I can give you a piece of advice. Don't.
... Not that us Mac users would stoop to flying budget of course.

At the end of the day, I think we all can point out an expected convenience that was somehow met with some usability shortcomings due to technical limitations at that time.
Sadly I've run into many of those via the Jolla browser. Most would never be considered or visited by many on this site. But those grievances exist regardless and are not fun whenever encountered.

That may be the case but, not having Android, I would never have known if you haven't told me

You know, this Ryanair thing leads me to a question: is the problem here really the Jolla browser, or the Ryanair website? Creating a website that works on a broad range of web browsers is not rocket science: you simply adhere to the published W3C standards.
Problem is, nobody ever adheres to the standards. For some reason, big companies always produce pages that depend on features specific to Microsoft's browser, or Google's browser, or use some goofy plugin. There's always a race to add dependencies on the newest, least-supported, and most broken features as well. It kinda drives me nuts...

There's a fine mix to be found; the people are just yelling for radically different things. In the least, the websites should gracefully degrade to something that works for the minimum. Somehow that's rarely the case as well.
Oh well... this indecision keeps me busy and employed.
