The problem with browsers is Apple. A decent iOS browser would handicap their App Store ecosystem. If the browser was as powerful as iOS, developers would build for iOS and Android using JS, and Apple wouldn't get to reject apps or earn their cut of all payments. Because of Apple, there has to be a severe handicap somewhere, so that nobody can build real cross-platform apps in the browser. That's why iOS browsers can't use APNS/push notifications or reliable local storage, but iOS apps can. Yes, every other browser supports these things, even macOS web browsers.
