I deleted the Twitter app recently and replaced it on my phone with a launcher bookmark to the website. Loss of functionality was minimal. I lose notifications but on the flipside my browser strips out all the ads and I have 250MB less bloat on my phone. So I’d say I’m on the winning side. Probably true to for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit and any other app which is just a thin wrapper over some HTML.
