@bovine3dom@masto.ai because web needs to be better than apps at privacy and security – that's literally its differentiator. Without that, web becomes just another apps platform and we might as well all go home.

@torgo@mastodon.social I totally disagree :) for me the main differentiators are: - ease of first use (no "install") - ease of discovery - ease of task switching - the ability to copy-paste (although Google Pixels have built in OCR which negates this somewhat) - ability to modify websites as i want them with ad blockers, user scripts, user styles (e.g. dark mode, reader mode). Frameworks like NextJS are making this worse - better accessibility - worse persistence - worse notifications - worse battery life
