>But context menu is a useful concept (sometimes). Of course. Which is why you would use it only where it is useful, not just hijacking a particular input event globally. >Thus web apps effectively lose one whole mouse button, thus reducing available input bandwidth. No, you can use right click all you want, and it need not interfere with the browser's use of right click. Also, very few people use a mouse on their phone, so this does seem like a bit of a stretch. >Another example of lost input is lack of system-global shortcuts. A web app in my knowledge can't have them. Right. There are a few other things like this that web apps can't do. And apps that people would want this sort of interface for should not be web apps. But as I said originally, virtually all the apps people use are not of that nature (and those that are almost always are apps that came with the phone), they are just websites turned into clunky, awkward apps for no reason. >except to get to web-app, you need to go through the browser first The browser is the app.
