gollark: In this case, I want a thing I can access on my phone and stuff without installing any additional software on it, and which can benefit from browsers' really nice rendering engines.
gollark: Browsers provide a useful cross-platform environment which is well-sandboxed but still has decent access to a lot of stuff, which allows you to run an application in a few seconds without installing anything, and which can interact easily with some server somewhere.
