I know I'm in the minority, but I'm glad this change is happening. I simply don't trust large tech companies to keep user privacy a top priority, and in my mind, this outweighs whatever UX niceties an honest company may provide.

The solution could be to give that option to users; a way to mark a website or app as trusted or not. Apple's approach on the other hand really sets the web apps back, which I (as a privacy concious individual) am more comfortable using compared to apps.

If this encourages more apps to go the native route, we've done more harm than good. Apps can gather a lot more data than websites, such as the dreaded contact list access.
