Nah, it's super annoying when I click on a link and don't get redirected to the native app. This happens way more then once a month. Web experiences are much worse for many things.

Cool but the attitude of “bring on the dystopian future as long as it’s more convenient for some people some of the time” is still confusing to me. Do you imagine that leaked information like this has never gotten someone killed before, and never will in the future?

Good, because this is what Intents are for. No app needs to know all your installed apps to launch them with a link.
