Firefox/Fennec with add-ons is really so much of a relief.

Tho I don't use (classic) social media which afaik enforce apps the most ... I think that battle for web pages & privacy is lost anyway, at least until we as a society decide to go FOSS.

Honestly I wish PWA's were used for more stuff. They're literally just the website in shortcut form, without the window chrome. They'd work for a bunch of shit if Apple would support them more fully, and not everything needs to be a native app anyways if people are just using a web browser.

I-was-saying this is why I only ever use my phone to call and text people. However, for the convenience of phone posters and their awful portrait shaped screens, I will switch my desktop browser over to mobile mode when snapping screenshots of cringe to repost. Sometimes. If I feel like it.

Tbf as a mobile and web dev, it's hard to compare native or js apps to mobile website / progressive web apps. It's way easier to do stuff from a mobile app and the user experience can be better. Just don't abuse and exploit being installed on a device to destroy privacy any more (we see you)

Worst thing on mobile app though is versioning
