- coldtea 5y agoI keep hearing that BS argument. Do we have a "native like app experience on web tech" on Android? Have people given up mobile apps (native or wrapping WPAs) there and use web apps on Chrome on Android? Didn't think so.... Oh, and would you also be happy if your native apps on Desktop were replaced by more Electron?
- ccouzens 5y agoAnecdotal evidence but I use plenty of websites where native apps are available. EG Social Media, Google search, news websites, Youtube. > web apps on Chrome on Android I don't bother installing the web apps, but access them as websites through my mobile web browser (Firefox Android).
- fomine3 5y agodevil's advocate: Safari is too good for performance so they can replace native app experience, meanwhile sadly Chrome isn't.
- mhoad 5y agoSafari haven’t actually beaten Chromium in most performance benchmarks for a while now. https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1485387199738642432?s=21 https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1485387199738642432?...
- TrispusAttucks 5y agoI almost exclusively use web apps. I can't remember the last time I installed an actual native app. It's been at least a year.
