      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?)

      I'd also love to hear alternatives. I mostly get "if the web doesn't ever take off on mobile, does it really matter?" Assuming it *does* matter, what approach do you think would be more effective? And why?

      Are you tweeting from a parallel universe where the web hasn’t taken off on mobile?

      I am tweeting from the Android universe (~80% of mobile devices shipped) where that is indeed the case.

      If we look only at absolute #s, we do see growth; holy cow there are a lot of mobile devices! If we look at fraction of time spent on device, the web didn't start high and hasn't grown, particularly amongst phone-only users at the bottom of the income scale. That's ~most people.

      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

          So perhaps we see wildly different pictures of a shared universe because we serve almost perfectly non-intersecting sections of it.
