> Any app can embed a JavaScript engine or web renderer and cache code from the web, even on iOS

and we would call that a browser

[zepto → jcelerier]

No, we don’t call any app that embeds a web renderer or uses a JavaScript engine ‘a browser’.

Do you have any idea how many apps do this?

[jcelerier → zepto]

I mean yeah, e.g. a lot of recent games use html/js engines for their UI and everyone I know says that the game's UI is a browser

[zepto → jcelerier]

Yeah, but none of them say the game is a browser.
