I always see posts asking for the “best apps”, so I thought it might be fun to flip the script. I originally thought this would be mobile-focused, but honestly I do the same thing on desktop.
I’d also be interested in any tools/techniques that help you achieve this. PWAs, scripts, mobile, desktop, whatever.

A lot of things where the “app” is just a bloated Electron wrapper. The web version, if offered, is almost always better even if it lacks a few features.
The most common reason for something to be “better in the app” is that the website is full of popups telling you to use the app
Facebook - I’ve found their mobile app is very large and I didn’t like the temptation to look at it all the time. I switch to using a browser in privacy/incognito mode. I log in and spend more quality time seeing what my friends and family are up to without obsessing over it.
I did the same a few years ago. I use a separate browser just for fab to keep them away from my main browser. Some things dont work that well, but it’s not as bad as the absolute trash of ads my feed is filled with
Lemmy. The mobile apps just aren’t there just yet.
