I don't care if websites can use that if they don't.

That's the fucking problem.

Using a proper application platform instead of a pile of hacks on top of the web. Without that pile of hacks, the web would actually be usable because publishers would not be able to break the UX.

Browsers will do their best to include all resources they depend as well. > Using a proper application platform instead Which one? Is there any cross-platform one with consistent design and UX? I don't think so.

Is there any cross-platform one with consistent design and UX? I don't think so. Frankly, even Electron applications are better than making web pages that behave incorrectly.

You know that 90% of Electron apps do not have any native function calls and are just wrappers on top of a web-app? I just don't understand what you are criticizing anymore.
