I don’t want to download a random executable from some unknown source. However, I trust the browser sandbox.

  > I don’t want to download a random executable from some unknown source Why would you do that? --- There's few applications that warrant having direct access to the GPU and other devices. And for those, a native app would be a much efficient way (for the user).

    yeah but users don't care about technical efficiency, they care about having seamless experiences that aren't interrupted by long downloads, app/context switching, and loading screens.

      Which the web doesn't provide. Try opening Figma and Sketch at the same time or Mail.app and Gmail. Google Doc is closer to Wordpad than Libreoffice.

  I however don't trust the browser sandbox when it is continuously expanded with bloat that normal websites don't need.
