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.

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