Netflix? Telegram's push 2FA? Any mobile wallet application? The vast majority of dating apps? Any of the app-only social networks? Basically all keyless entry applications?




All functionality found on the web.

Have you tried?

* Netflix does not load in a mobile browser, it directs you to download their app.

* web.telegram.org sends a 2FA push notification to their app

* Apple wallet/ Android wallet do not have web apps

* Popular dating apps, e.g. Hinge do not have web apps

* Some social network apps, e.g. BeReal do not have web apps. Many others have reduced features.

* I have never seen a keyless entry app that supports the web, at least not from a mainstream manufacturer.

Can you name a single browser app that can do NFC payments in the US?


Firefox supports Netflix web app. It prompts you to install the Widevine plugin.

I use Netflix web version on my linux desktop all the time.

We were talking about mobile browsers. Obviously I am aware that people watch Netflix on their laptops.
