Debating writing a blog post about why I don't think the Chrome team's approach to the "threat" of native apps is helpful for the web platform… Maybe I should write something uncontroversial at some point… (But why would anyone read what I write about uncontroversial things?)

Obviously, a cohort w/o iPhones. Propensity to own iOS devices goes to ~1 as your income hits $100K/yr. Wealthier countries also tend to have desktop anchoring; popular services are available there first and users understand value of the web as a result of desktop use.

A further wrinkle: nobody in Android-land makes a CPU worth a damn. Web experience leans on single core perf -- thanks in part to increasing JS payload -- so iOS users are likely having a *much* better time surfing a web that never adapted to the real limits of most mobile users

Has Google ever published any data about the fraction of time spent on device and how browsers are versus other apps? (And where do custom tabs fit into that?)

We have not. CCT looks like "regular browsing" to us, and I include it in my analysis (whereas it is much harder to understand, and likely not accurate, to include WebView time)
