Not to mention that native apps can be properly reviewed and vetted by Linux distributions. And have a tiny codebase compared to a browser. And even tinier compared to a browser + all the potentially hostile javascript, css, html, sng, png

Despite the idiotic downvotes, you are absolutely right. Browsers are terrible. No other applications or OS components are so monolithic expose the same attack surface.

No, there isn't, and going for the quasi-monopolist only encourages lock-in.
