Site Apps as response to browser bloat and lack of functionality

Face it, the criticism about "Apps" for every website would be far more relevant if Apps weren't much faster and resource efficient than browsers. Browser bloat fragmented the web, mobile devices turned to lightweight apps and secure app stores.
Another aspect is extensions/plugins being replaced by safer but more limited "WebExtensions" which are slower and less capable than site-specific apps.

no, I am explaining the difference given the context of what compression is used for. and what people use compression for is large sets of binary or textual data. URL ahortener is not an equivalent of compressing a 4K movie so that it doesn't clog your're are disk, it's an equivalent of storing this film on a remote server and writing down the URL. example.com/gay-niggers-from-outer-space.avi is not compression.
