I gsuite good anywhere? It's not good in the browser on desktop/laptop devices, certainly.

I have noticed they cut tons of features from the iOS versions and keep you from using the site if they're installed (and maybe even if they're not? That's got to be how I ended up with them installed, I wouldn't have done it by choice), which is super annoying and makes no sense since I'm sure it's all the same webtech crap as the "real" sites, just wrapped so it's "native".

Yes? I use a Linux laptop + firefox, g suite works great even for docs that have hundreds of pages (though I do use a top of the line Lenovo P series with an i7 and 32GB of ram).

The Gmail app ate multiple gigs of ram and repeatedly crashed on my prior two Android phones. Disabling it and using an alternate mail client works much better.

That is strange. If it is one app that I have never had a problem with is Gmail on Android(Nexus and Pixel devices)

My entire company (800+) runs on gsuite for better or worse. At least in browser on desktop its functional.

Re web-tech: All iPad/iOS browsers run a low-perf version of Safari under the hood. In my experience anything Google seems sluggish on Safari. Frankly, I think that a part of this is due to FUD (Safari is not slow).

I still use FF and Safari for 99% of my browsing, but certain sites just require me to use Chrome.

I assume anything Google is extremely energy/processor/RAM intensive and only consider it as a last resort on battery powered devices.

[saagarjha]

It's basically the same Safari, no?

[robertoandred]

No, WebKit is the same across devices.

[rpastuszak]

That’s not 100% correct.

Web views aren’t the same, neither is the JS runtime configuration, hence the performance differences.
