I prefer to do everything I can from my browser. I think it's silly to have apps for evey single facet of life. Every time I go to a news/shopping/etc website, it wants me to open/install their app. What is the advantage of having multiple news apps, multiple social network apps, multiple shopping apps over just using a browser?

Often the app's interface is simply better than the mobile website. If you do a lot on your phone, the extra convenience adds up.

  Or it's a lot worse and missing functionality, which has been my experience the few times I gave a website app the benefit of the doubt and installed it. But they get a free ad on your app/home screen and a shot at stickier use, which is all they really care about. I too just use a browser at this point.
