Differences between Web vs Browser (Cordova)

[jvitor83]

Discussion about if it is worth to keep both build process (npm run start and npm run start.browser) since the cordova already support a web/browser target!

Should mantain only cordova to keep it simple? Any pros and cons is welcome!

Things to consider:

• Different code when using device (hardware) features (even to web).

  Have to test/check if device apis of browser work inside cordova (with and without crosswalk webview)

• ~~Another, LiveReload is already working on web ng serve~~ (Now works at cordova too)
• Slightly faster build at npm run start (once no cordova is involved).

  Have importance once livereload is working?

Another thing is the cordova plugins that influence the app. Ex: Splashscreen configs at config.xml Those only works at browser with cordova.
