    could you recommend me some reliable android emulator for debian 12 ...

    Have you looked at Waydroid <https://waydro.id/>?

    Odd - that doesn't open under firefox; just gives a blank screen.
    Chromium opens it OK though. FF 126 on Mint 21.2


    I'd support this, this has been running smoothly here in Ubuntu for a
    year, so shouldn't be a problem with Debian.

    Same version of Firefox on Debian Unstable, works fine for me.

    I was able to bring up the initial screen in Seamonkey 2.53.18.2
    on Debian Bookworm. This is encouraging since, even more than
    Firefox, Seamonkey is considered _persona non grata_ in the new
    Edge/Chrome world order. However, when I clicked on "installation
    docs", I got a quick flash of a page in a new tab, which was
    immediately blanked out - which is the standard treatment Seamonkey
    gets on all too many sites these days. I was able to see it in
    Firefox 5.4.0esr, though.

    The name "Waydroid" makes me think it runs under Wayland rather
    than Xorg - but I couldn't find anything saying yea or nay.

    I had no problems bringing up and navigating the site under Firefox
    - Firefox 125.0.2 (64 bit, from mozilla.org), with
    Privacy Badger, and UBlock Origin
    - Slackware Linux 14.2 (64 bit)

    FWIW, I've just tried that page again. Same system. Works perfectly this
    time. Was a rock solid fail when I posted. I just hate that sort of problem.....

    Sites have glitches sometimes. I’ve seen momentary lapses like that in
    lots of places.
