On: The Hamburger Menu Doesn't Work

[pbreit]

Possibly consistent in that the no-hamburger rule mainly applies to apps, not mobile-optimized web pages.

Why is that? What makes the web different in this case?

You're not constantly hopping around to different sections on a website the same way you are when you spend a lot of time in an app.

Basic, significant factors like screen real estate, input devices & processor speed.

If you read the reasoning against the hamburger menu (i.e. it is basically a "misc" option that doesn't indicate its contents), then you'd know that none of those factors matter here. Screen real estate isn't even usually a difference between web/native.

They matter on desktop vs mobile.
