Roblox desktop app vs playing through the browser?

Saw there's a Roblox app for Windows and Mac now instead of launching games from the website. Anyone using it? Does it run better, and can you still join friends the same way?

the one thing i'd add, a lot of people don't know you can't actually play in the browser at all. so if a school or work laptop won't let you install the app, there's no workaround from the website.

on pc there isn't really a difference. the browser just launches the roblox app, and the game always runs in that client either way. the only real choice is the normal download from the site vs the Microsoft Store version, and I'd go with the normal one.
