The browser is an extremely poor medium to deliver applications. It works, but barely, is a huge resource hog, fragile and it breaks way too often due to a lack of backwards compatibility between browser versions of the same manufacturer. I have a small app that I support and it's been fun to get it to work in the browser (instant cross platform support was indeed the driver) but the experience is still sub-par compared to what I could do on a local application.

> There is already a standard that allows anyone to create software that works cross-platform: the browser.

Which one exactly ? IE ? Dillo ? Lynx ? Pale Moon ? Firefox version 126 ?
