on Optimizing the Web for Emerging Economies

" summary

Five billion future users arrive on low-end $100 Android/Nokia phones over slow, patchy networks (India islands, Himalayan ranges) and often use proxy browsers like Opera Mini. Devices average 36 apps with ~9 never used, so storage and CPU matter; the web avoids installs via installable web apps (home‑screen full‑screen sites that update instantly). Progressive enhancement reduces CPU/battery cost versus heavy frameworks, and service workers add offline drafts and caching to close the native gap.
