We already solved this β€œan app for everything” problem 40 years ago with the HTML/CSS/W3C standards and a regular old web browser.

God, please, no. There’s a really good reason WebOS experiments all, universally, failed, and it isn’t because Big Brother wants your data. They can get it through web apps just fine, anyway. No, the reason is because web apps suck.

You are very wrong about them not wanting your data, and the tracking/snooping capabilities of an app vs a browser.

Isn’t Discord and Microsoft Teams just a webapp in Electron? My main grievance is that Chrome on Android doesn’t hide that URL bar no matter what
