      This native app banner style is sneaky. It pretends as though you already have the app ("open"), and tries to visually mimic a system message (and isn't dismissable without a choice), but it's an app store callout. Saw it first on @reddit but it seems to have spread to @CBSNews pic.twitter.com/TOVFZomrdo

      How do you get trusted path when you've only got one button and limited visual real estate?

      "trusted path"? And why is this friction there *at all*? Related:https://web.dev/get-installed-related-apps/ …

      Sorry for jargoning. "Trusted path" lets the user know which part of a system they're interacting with. E.g., Ctrl-Alt DEL provides trusted path on Windows; you know after you hit that that you're interacting with the OS account prompt, not a malicious user-space app.

      Unless SW is conspiring with a USB device that can impersonate a keyboard. Sigh, trusted path is hard.

      I get what Trusted Paths are; I just don't understand in this context. The UI being presented by the site is a way to trick users into installing their native apps for news. Or do I (continue to) misunderstand your point?

      Sorry for over-explaining. I'm probably the one misunderstanding. I thought a dodgy native app was masquerading as a high reputation web-site. In that case, effective TP would let the user know whether they're interacting with an app or browser/webview.

      Yeah, no, this is a (trustworthy, if we can use that word) site putting up UI to trick user into installing the native app. It's a dark pattern; the sort of thing we had to do this to prevent when they were interstitial:https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/09/mobile-friendly-web-pages-using-app.html …

          oh, n/p! Could easily have been the other. I dread the day when "in app browsers" get widely exploited to do the sorts of bad things you're suggesting.
