Detailed explanation-1: -Desktop applications have all the data stored on the machine on which the application is deployed. In the case of web applications, the data is stored remotely on the server and is accessed by our personal laptops remotely with the help of a web browser & internet connectivity.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the name suggests, web-based applications are programs that you access online. The function is delivered to your device from a remote server when you access it via your browser-it’s not installed on your machine. Desktop applications, meanwhile, are the programs that you download and install on your device.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mobile applications need to be installed from the app store, while web applications can be easily viewed from any browser and thus do not need to be installed. Mobile applications can be accessed even offline, and that’s not the case with web applications since browsers do not work without a proper internet connection.
Detailed explanation-4: -A website provides visual and text content that the user can see and read, but not affect in any way. In the case of a web application, the user can not only read the page content but also manipulate the data on this page.
