    Yep.

    Your standard web browser has to many privacy protections for you and your data.

    Its why they want to push you to an app, that asks for WAY to many permissions to do what it needs to do. Cause it doesnt need that access to function. It needs that access to monitize you. Cause they make more off stealing your information, than they do off you being a customer, Which is why you get so many discounts for using apps.

    The trend of every thing and service having its own app, and pushing all this shit to phones and away from computers and websites…

    And the reason that everyone and their mother pushes you to use apps, is because the amount of information they can harvest and tracking they can do far exceeds what they could ever hope to collect with a stand alone browser with its pesky privacy controls and security… and everyone gleefully gives these apps every permission they ask for, even though they should never require access to 95% of it to function, because they cant let anything get in the way of getting their immediate gratification.
