Alby is awesome.
I just tested with a YT video.
If the OP add the LN address in the description, you can tip directly in the video page with Alby, without any redirect or additional step.
Really cool integration that normies still don't know it!

On mobile you have a plethora of LN wallets. No need for alby.
Alby is only for desktop browsers.

Copying/pasting an invoice is cumbersome, switching apps to pay is cumbersome. I have yet to see a wallet implemented as an android payment app.

man, that means you still don't use the right wallet apps or you still don't know how to use them.
Many already have integrated the function to pay directly, not even have to copy/paste.
We are in 2022 remember? Copy/paste is 2010 technology...
Now we use deeplinks

I mean like this where you don't have to leave the browser to pay. Like google and apple pay.

Yes, if the webmaster of the page you are browsing do not use the correct deeplinks like "lightning: LNURL or LNinvoice..." then none of wallet apps will detect that there's a payment request in a link.
For example, try https://chat.blixtwallet.com
When you click on the QR code (not copy), just click it, it should popup a screen to let you choose the wallet compatible with that payment request.
Same, try with any YT video that have in description any LNURL, or LN address, you will see that Alby extension of your browser could pay directly, without even copy/paste,.
So is not about wallet app UX/UI but about webs programming.

You will have a Nostr account on Alby and will be able to login and sign events on nostr sites using Alby without exposing the private key.

My favorite thing about Nostr right now is Anigma channels. So i wonder if Alby will support that, or what their plans for supporting Nostr is

I think will support yes, because Anigma support nos2x extension. So I think Nostr will work with Anigma.
