At the end of the day, the thing that most makes native more usable than web is that browser UIs are insultingly bad.

I would *gladly* take a slower experience if I could trade it for a browser UI that doesn't make me want to punch people.

Case in point: this Android Chrome bug causes it to lose user data (it randomly forgets some of your tabs). bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/iss…

In any normal product, losing user data is a P1 bug. Here, it took 18 months to close, and the bug is actually still there.

Attached to this tweet is a trace showing the number of fucks Chrome appears to give about user data when it can’t be used to sell ads.

I point at Chrome but that’s because I’m not strong enough to sustain the despair of usability bugs in Bugzilla. The bitrot has kids there.
