I love browser games, RPGs although I do not play them now. They are a sweet reminiscent of the past. I hope they do have a comeback.

Advantages

  • No need to install any software, so lesser headache of piracy and viruses.
  • Play from any device.
  • Lesser CPU consumption.

Disadvantages

  • Slower
  • Require more net-data consumption
  • Usually lower graphic quality.

Great list! Interested in the extent to which Browser games are a good alternative to cross platform. Maybe game devs should be using Electron?
