There's something disjoint here, BTW. We (Chrome) have been trying to get a unified permissions API into the web as it will allow *much* better UI and semantics (time-limited grants, ability to drop for least-priviledge operation, etc) and Mozilla has blocked all progress.

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.
-
BTW, the way to rebuild is from product/market fit, and *that* means responsible amounts of script because most addressable market is EM.

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.
-
Packed apps were a hack because app cache was so horrible. It was a quick fix.
@fabricedesre hacked it in a day or two. Took years to get the real thing in place. We had to ship so some day we can do the right thing. That day never came -
If we'd ever gotten engagement on the other vision, I'd be more willing to accept this narrative.

But since you're talking about numbers, React Native is a much tinier blip in native market share than desktop is on web market share. By orders of magnitude. It's just not relevant to this particular conversation, despite being very interesting in the framework space.
