The average people don't know the concept of browser. I saw people using Google search (the app) as a browser. I saw people trying to login in their webmail using Google search (the app), then in order to see what photo they wanted to upload they went back to home by closing the WebView, watching the photo, then using again the Google search app to login in their webmail. Extremely infuriating, I wanted to die.
Jfc. I don't have much exposure to people younger than me using technology. Family (nieces and nephew) live in another state, so I don't watch them use phones and tablets. I wonder if my adult niece (who's very bright) is doing things this way and I just wasn't aware. Fuck me. I thought we'd be past this by now.
