I always see posts asking for the “best apps”, so I thought it might be fun to flip the script. I originally thought this would be mobile-focused, but honestly I do the same thing on desktop.
I’d also be interested in any tools/techniques that help you achieve this. PWAs, scripts, mobile, desktop, whatever.
Dunno if this fits the bill but there are apps which dont have the same features as the web. Strava for example doesnt let you download a gps track of rides of your friends without premium.
The feature is available for free on the website when in desktop mode.
A lot of things where the “app” is just a bloated Electron wrapper. The web version, if offered, is almost always better even if it lacks a few features.

Lemmy. The mobile apps just aren’t there just yet.
The most common reason for something to be “better in the app” is that the website is full of popups telling you to use the app
