On one hand you have people complaining Chrome kills their batteries and on the other you want to have a browser that does push notifications, Bluetooth and usb. I want my browser to be fast and light. These complaints seem to come more from companies wanting to save money and developers too lazy to develop native apps. I don’t want to load a 200Mb progressive web app that goes through 20 layers of abstraction to show a list of news items just because developers are lazy and companies want to make more money. This is not for the users, at least let’s be honest about that.
- Black101 6y ago> because developers are lazy and companies want to make more money I think that Apple don't implement these features because they want to make more money and have developers make apps for their platform for free (and actually collect a fee from the developers that are improving the Apple ecosystem).
- fragile_frogs 6y ago> I don’t want to load a 200Mb progressive web app And I don't want to download your 200Mb native app that I will only use once. Besides that, the average webpage size is 2Mb which IMO is still too big, where as the average iOS app size is 34.3Mb.
