Those are ‘killer apps’ compared to the phone for instance.

I played a bit with an old chromebook we bought for our kid’s school a while ago, and the browsing experience is definitely better than on my iPad Pro. Having actual arbitrary window management, tabs don’t get lost between the instances, video can actually play in the background, extensions work. The list just goes on and on.

I still prefer the iPad for reading long form and comics, but as the Kindle app is crippled, the overall experience isn’t that far either.
