There are a lot of websites which can also be accessed by an App.
Those that don't have apps can be accessed from a shortcut on the Home
screen
If I accessed all sites using Home screen links rather than using an app
would I conserve power or does it make no difference?
I hope that is clear.
I tend to use my phone more like a tablet for internet access.
I have lots of memory, but seem to be eating power.

There is no universally valid answer to that question.

Some Apps related to websites are little more than a Webview component
hard-wired to show a customized version of said website.

Others implement an extensive set of unique functionality, including
more-or-less sophisticated attempts to reduce data transmission and
power consumption or even the ability to work offline.

It depends on what you are using.

Yes, using the web browser for an extended period of time tends be quite
power-hungry. But this also goes for embedded web views, as these are
basically the same thing.
