You're saying it a future tense, but browsers already have these capabilities. Apple just doesn't allow any browser engines that would embarrass Safari.
There isn't even a performance gap any more. A lot of CSS rendering is GPU-accelerated these days. There's WASM and WebGPU for heavy computation, and it works, e.g. web-based Figma has become a $20 billion threat to Adobe's native applications.
OTOH SwiftUI is still immature and a big step backwards in performance.
- JoeyJoJoJr 4y agoIn the case of mobile web games, most of the perceived performance gap is due to game engines not optimizing for web experience. If you use a low level Webgl rendering library, or build you own renderer, it becomes apparent that WebGl 2 is capable to deliver a range of products far exceeding what currently exists in that space. If Safari just allowed users to hide the address/tab bar to play games it would suddenly make web games, of App Store quality, instantly viable.
