The reason this is done is because you can see everything your browser is doing, but you can't see everything an application is doing without disassembling it.

I want very much to go back to websites. Apps are stupid.

the reason is children. for some reason the most recent generation of kids requires apps instead of sites. god forbid they have to remember an address.

My high school computer teacher once ranted about this to us. He said the younger students are lacking the basic concepts of computer stuff. They are spoiled too much to not even know what a file browser is.

He's the computer teacher. Maybe he should teach them about computers

He did teach them. He was just comparing different generations of students.
