I hate web browsers. They are the "throw a handfull of darts one is sure to hit the bullseye" philosophy of software engineering, that leads to a steady bloat of features and security vulnerabilities multiply upon each other.
In general, if there is a dedicated app, choose that, don't use a web browser. Unfortunately people make too many mobile apps and not enough desktop apps for my needs. I don't use the web for much other than searching for programming info and shopping but it pains me every time I see an EU mandated cookie message.
More gemtext less HTML :)
Agreed, more desktop apps are needed: easier to verify releases, no cookies or fingerpints (?), easier to block or inspect outgoing traffic, much better offline support.
