I believe the web applications thing only applies to those that have been added to the homescreen through Safari -> Add to Home Screen.
As mentioned in the original comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2662093 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2662093) it doesn't apply to UIWebViews which Chrome uses.
- shadesandcolour 14y agoYou're correct. UIWebView doesn't get the better rendering engine but I was reffering to this point: "The limitation is even put in place for native web apps, the ones you see inside Safari itself. As long as you see them in Safari they work great. But the second you save them as a web app to your home screen, they are suddenly forced to use the old Safari engine, and are thus much slower to use." Just trying to set the record straight.
