Looking at the MDN page [1], I noticed that SHA2-256 digest authentication was added relatively recently to Firefox (and Firefox for Android). I wonder why they added it, as no other browser manufacturer seems to care and the added benefit of using digest rather than basic auth is only minimal now that every decent website has TLS.
Also, interestingly, the support matrix suggests that Firefox for Android supports Kerberos and NTLM authentication. I guess I never expected Kerberos for websites to show up outside of desktop browsers.
