In my experience web apps are almost always worse than native apps unless the native app is just a wrapper around a web app.

The native Spotify app is just a wrapper around the web app though.

		Even for apps where that is true, sometimes the wrapper adds some features that it doesn't have running in a browser tab. For example, the Discord electron app can get hotkeys when it's not focused (useful for push to talk/mute when playing a game), but not when you run it in a browser.

		This is decidedly untrue.

It is generally true regarding the intent of the platform owner (the app is supposed to be better, they'll put efforts into it).

The funny part being, you might still want the web version to apply extensions on it. Youtube for instance is a lot better with the auto-dub features and title translations off, but it won't be possible in the native app as Google is actively forcing those on us. I don't use Spotify, but would advise looking it it.

		Spicetify offers a much better experience than web+extensions. And of course, you can use alternate, lightweight clients based on 'librespot' instead.
