Didn't Facebook also want native app access so they could work around OS limits like background processing via shady stuff like leaving the microphone on? I prefer webapps for security reasons because of Facebook's checkered history with native apps.

But what happens if Apple or Google gives web apps more of the capabilities of native apps?

  I'd really hate it if browsers are capable to run in background and accessing microphone or camera. Especially if the tab is closed.

    Buy why? People use those apps every day and fine with it. Why browser is bad? You'll still need to give your permission to do so anyway.

      I'd say bloat is bad. And as the browser comes to encompass more OS functionality it does so more poorly than the underlying OS could.

      People will leave hundreds of tabs open. It’s just not few apps, it’s the whole internet and knowing people they will most likely just smash through the ”deny/allow” warnings.
