- Aardwolf 4y agoHow so? I feel more comfortable viewing a webpage, than installing an app that can access anything to view the same thing
- fsflover 4y agoEspecially with NoScript (when possible).
- madeofpalk 4y agoOn the other hand, it adds a whole bunch of extra security concerns. The browser is a pretty safe, controlled, and locked down environment for executing arbitary code from untrusted parties.
- h0l0cube 4y agoBut it's not the reason the average user (outside of the tech community) reaches for native apps, most of the time it's because they are forced to. Like menu ordering apps at bars and restaurants. If it was a PWA, they'd use that and skip the installation step.
