Mobile Apps vs. Web Browsers: A User Perception Study with Android Apps and Google Chrome
🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the ambiguity surrounding user perceptions of security, privacy, and usability when choosing between mobile applications and web browsers. By integrating behavioral experiments with questionnaire surveys, this research empirically quantifies Android users’ cognitive biases and decision-making drivers across both platforms. The findings reveal critical concerns and misconceptions influencing platform selection, thereby clarifying core user priorities. Based on these insights, the paper proposes concrete strategies to optimize security, privacy mechanisms, and usability for both environments. Ultimately, this work provides a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for mitigating perceptual biases and enhancing cross-platform user experience, bridging the gap between user perception and actual system attributes in dual-platform ecosystems.
