To me, the question isn't "why use my browser", it's "why use something else when I already have a browser and it's always open"?
- Karellen 3y agoFor me, the answer is "because native mail clients are so much snappier and responsive". As well as being able to choose my client based on the interface I prefer, rather than whatever UI the webmail provider decides to give me. And my mail client is also always open. And it uses less memory than a typical browser tab.
- zgk7iqea 3y agoThe reality I think is, the average user probably doesn't care about snappyness as long as it is not too bothersome. The path of least resistance is opening the webmail (no setup required).
- HumblyTossed 3y agoFair. I just don't always have a browser open. I don't need it when I'm coding and such. If I need to look something up I'll make a note and come back to it. Breaks my flow to just stop and look something up when I can just stub something out and fix it proper later.
