@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

@bovine3dom@masto.ai yes, I think those are also differentiators of the web – AND that because of a lot of those features (the ease of discovery, ease of first use, accessibility) there must also be better privacy & security. Also I disagree with "worse notifications" because I think the guard rails that the web puts on notifications make them better. However, I sincerely encourage you to leave feedback on our reviews https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues or on our design principles https://github.com/w3ctag/design-principles.
