>> it is much more difficult to opt out of these insidious and unnecessary web APIs > I don't know what you mean by this. A native app has far more access to your machine than a website has. If you've installed untrusted native code, it's game over.
You're either trolling or clueless. Everyone needs a web browser. There are basically 2 of them. These are used (or necessary) to access a lot of things in today's world, from ordering a pizza to accessing government publications. Nobody NEEDS one particular web app. We can avoid installing apps, but not standards compliant web browsers.
You seem to be agreeing with me, yet you're accusing me of either trolling or being clueless.
If you use Firefox Containers, you avoid untrusted native code, and you avoid persistent cookies tracking you around the web.
