Google's Chrome Apps
Google's Trojan horse: how Chrome Apps will finally take on Windows | The Verge
"on Chrome's fifth birthday, (2013-09-05) Google is announcing the rollout of what it's calling Chrome Apps... Chrome has been serving up web apps since 2010 when the Chrome Web Store opened up alongside the launch of the Chrome OS. Chrome Apps, however, are different than what's been offered before...
The new apps look and behave much like the native apps you find on Windows and OS X. They're built using web technologies, but also with Chrome-specific code that means they won't be able to run on other web browsers...
They can exist outside of your browser window as distinct apps, work offline, and sync across devices and operating systems. They can also access your computer's GPU, storage, camera, ports, and Bluetooth connection. "
Essentially, this is an equivalent of PhoneGap now bundled with Chorome browser, so web-based apps can access other resources of computer (to work offline), and to avoid tabs, address bar and other "chrome" of the browser... Clever, but how secure it is?
