Browsers are for browsing the web. Apps (run by the OS, not by a web browser) are for doing things.

hahahahhahhaahahha

im deep in the corporate, non-app web-based environment. this comment is so out of touch. i get that its your POV, but its not even close to the broader reality that most apps are just packaged websites and that browsers are nearly fully virtual machines and incredibly capable.

again, the apps exist generally because they want to capture more data than the browser allows (they are exploiting you). theres very little functionality that cant be run in the browser directly.

That sounds like a shit app. I just don't use those. And if I have to use them, it's rarely enough that they fall into browser's scope.
