I can't think of a single thing where I prefer a web app over a native alternative, unless it's for one-off use. | ||

I will pick a web app over a proprietary "native" app every time. That way, it can stay in a sandbox where it belongs. Discord, Zoom, Meet, Trello, YouTube, and various others, all stay in sandboxed browser tabs. | ||

I have several web apps installed over the native alternatives. Discord is the most prominent one; I've found their native app has been getting shittier by the day over recent months, while the web app remains as snappy as any Safari page. Plus I can run an adblocker and other extensions in the web app which improve the experience. | ||

Most of the “apps” are 200 MB native monstrosities that could be served by 20 kb of JS. | ||
