Because web developers have this dream of replacing native apps, the industry has been busy removing piece by piece the sandbox that browser apps live in. They want to have all the power and features of native apps except one: app store review and approval. But if you have all the power of native without any moderation, plus the wild west of user-hostile ad-networks... actually i don't know where it leads but it's not good.
- brlewis 10y agoI have that dream but didn't ask for the sandbox to be removed. Having users approve use of location data is quite fine by me, and clearly superior to the way it works with native Android apps, where the user has to approve a bunch of permissions at install time, not knowing for sure which ones are actually necessary.
