The
@chrome team has understood for years that native is the enemy to fight. WebView wrappers like Focus don’t move the needle in this key battle. Also not sure that fight is still winnable though.@reactnative might be the future instead -
React Native is a category error in this conversation. Either we care about the web and want the web to win, or technologies like Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective C, and yes, JS via things like React Native will win.

The Web as a platform lost on mobile. We can help parts of it remain relevant. Especially JavaScript

I (obviously) think it isn't totally lost; but very much losing.

Firefox OS ... long sigh

...sigh because it never embraced the actual web and kept making the same mistakes we did with Chrome Apps despite a better offer? Or some other reason?
-
That's the reason I sigh :smile: I remember asking about packaged apps in the first Chrome Dev Summit. You told me they weren't the future, but Chrome would have to circle back around. Chrome leadership and FF leadership, on the other hand, were in love with packaged apps.
