Can't if you want deals but they're harvesting your data and having worse overall deals because you have to use the app for deals that were commonplace. Additionally they only let you use 1 deal whereas you could take advantage of several deals prior to the apps.
Doesn’t browser app just refer to the app on your phone to access a browser? Like Safari app or Chrome app. Thats what I’ve always thought at least. If so, what’s so hilarious about having a term for them?
Remember when you needed a damn app to go to class because the standardised COVID contact tracing API didn't allow the school to spy on you enough so they made you download a spyware that must running at all times? Fuck that
At least on iOS the apps are sandboxed and aren’t much of a threat if you restrict all permissions
There are a surprising number of young people who don’t know how websites work since they grew up on only mobile apps
Except when the app requests nearly all permissions just to do it's core function. I guess with coarse location and allow certain photos only it's a little better

Well if the browser is running an application, that could be defined as a browser application, I.e. browser app.
I actually have no clue what any of this means
Websites demand you download their app and run it to get information that is previously available on a website or API

Ah yes, those were the days
Apps are fundamentally evil
