Who’s Awarded More: Blake Shelton or Gwen Stefani?Jess Bolluyt More Articles Source: Apple.com The Verge s Nilay Patel writes that he hates Internet browsing on his phone. He’s not alone as mobile web browsers are generally awful. They are an abomination of poor results encountered by bad users, and utter contempt for the open web that kicked off the modern tech revolution,” explains Patel. Safari on Patel’s iPhone 6 is a sluggish malfunction susceptible to crashes and unable to move from portrait to landscape without experiencing an emotional crisis. “Chrome on Patel’s Android devices dropped in turn like a country mouse lost in the big city waiting to be mugged by the first residual ad with a redirect loop and something to show.” As Patel notes, Bad PC software provided the potential for the web to exist in the first place just as bad mobile site output created the demand for mobile apps.” Patel states that while apps have become almost irrelevant” on desktop because the web experience is close to perfect” apps are vitally important on mobile because the web experience is so terrible. In Patel’s opinion, the fact that tech firms have forced media companies to publish on sites that are completely separate from the mobile web and designed for better performance on phones is a symptom of both the issue and part of the cause. Effectively, companies like Apple and Facebook are making the mobile web worse by building small versions of the web within their own networks, sidestepping the web to get around its shortcomings altogether. Facebook introduced the Instant Articles feature that allows content creators to publish on Facebook’s website directly to get around the normal eight-second loading period for external web pages. Apple News requires news providers to post directly on iPhones bypassing the Safari browser of Apple’s own. Taken together” Patel writes Apple News and Facebook Instant Articles are the saddest possible rebuttal of the open web revolution: they are incompatible proprietary publishing systems wholly under the control of large corporations, neither of which particularly understands publishing or media.” Perhaps developer Nolan Lawson summed up the state of Safari best when he wrote that Safari was the best way forward. Lawson explains that there s a wide gap between Safari and other mobile browsers which let s not forget really aren t that great to begin with. Lawson writes: Apple’s approach towards the web in recent years may most charitably be characterized as benign neglect.” Although efficiency has dramatically improved with JSCore and the latest WKWebView, the web platform’s evolving features of “offline storage push alerts and installable” webapps have been notably absent on Safari. Patel observes that neither content providers nor developers can fix Safari’s performance. And since Apple prevents other firms from creating alternative web rendering engines for the iPhone, there is no competition for better performance and no motivation for Apple to invest heavily in moving Safari forward. Patel notes that things are marginally more available on Android but not much,” and indicates that lack of creativity has resulted in platform-wide stagnation in mobile web improvements. It is worth noting that slow web creation and advertisement saturation often play an significant role in users’ suboptimal experiences with the mobile web, which can be entirely blamed on mobile browsers regardless of their poor performance. Mobile web s challenges are a complex collection of problems and addressing them would take improved web browsers as well as more competitive competition to provide the best web experience for smartphone and tablet users.
