Yes, you are part of the generation that 'buys things' on an actual computer. Get much older or much younger and they'll use apps instead.

  Am I the only person who buys things on mobile websites? I feel like most apps are just websites rendered in webviews with a bunch of background tracking added, and websites create a bit of a firewall between my OS/filesystem and the application.

    On this forum? You are probably one of the few. I hate the way mobile browsers handle tabs with no control over forcing a reload and losing state. I prefer the desktop. I prefer my treestyle tabs. I am hardly on the phone as a result.

    I hate installing apps, sitting tracking my data in the background, and then there are often silly restrictions such as copy/paste being disabled, for what is basically just a web app. On well implemented mobile websites, Google password manager pops up as does Google pay, can even authenticate with my fingerprint, zero friction. Theres zero need for an app. And that's coming from a millennial who used to buy big ticket items on the PC.

    I purchase almost exclusively from mobile websites and the Amazon app. I'm likely to abandon a purchase if it doesn't work smoothly on mobile - there's really no excuse in this day and age. Also a mid-80's kid. I hate having to pull out my laptop for anything. Different strokes for different folks as they say.
