It's as people have just forgotten that software used to integrate with the rest of the computer. I know people who install things like Netflix as apps just to have an icon on the taskbar.
- dylan604 1y agoWould the taskbar people be older people? There's something to be said about having a quick common place to get to the things you access the most. To that point, there are many many variations of launchers. I really wish webapps had taken off more, or having website create custom shortcuts for the various OSes so they can something like their red letter N logo on the desktop or wherever that just takes them to the website with a click rather launching the blue letter e then have to type something into a location bar or find it in some list of favorites. However, I think the sweet data analytics that apps allow companies to collect is too tempting and the web link just something to avoid.
