> Desktop apps do have to adhere to the same system security permission that the browser provides. WebApps can be even more intrusive than a desktop app because you're constantly sending signals to a central set of servers with a unique browser fingerprint. You also lose control of updates, and would be completely unaware of new tracking dependencies being injected. The data you create with a web app is and always will be property of the company that manages it.
A browser is just an arbitrary binary, a desktop app is going to be capable of anything a browser is, but much much more.
