Native apps are the new desktop apps. OK for gaming, overkill and gaping privacy hole for everything else.

Native apps are the new desktop apps. OK for gaming, overkill and gaping privacy hole for everything else.
Because web apps are certainly very good at protecting privacy.
"To read news on this site, you must give permission to: Your phone Your camera All your files " I've never seen that on a web app, but it's de rigeur for native mobile.
Meanwhile webapps can potentially report on everything you do that touches your browser and at most you might have to acknowledge a cookie stored on your browser.
News readers requesting that level of access is bad, but at least they tell you when they're invading your privacy.
