if the 'big three' have their way, it won't be a browser to do 'everything', it'll be individual apps instead. where they control everything, including ads and trackers and data collection, instead of in a browser where users at least have some control. but yea, where it's possible or expected, an 'app' should have a standalone application to install or run available. and knock it off already with 'apps' that are basically just wrappers around a 'mobile-first' web page. apps should do something other than just browse your damn web site.
