Your mobile browser supports notifications per site like an app. It even supports custom icons per site when the notification pops up.

You don't even know if the telemetry leaving your phone to the app server is using TLS encryption, you just let them hail-mary football-throw send it.

I don't understand why we insist on bending over and freely giving away our data to fucking apps.
