unsandboxed behaviour being abused... you mean like all other apps written natively for any platform since the dawn of time? There's no vetting process for Windows utilities or bash scripts you find online. The closest you can get is that it's hosted on a store, but that's a mobile paradigm and is a problem as much as it is a solution.

I know what you mean but if a web page just has to to request "run me as an app" to get unsandboxed access then you know every popup from every shady site is going to have a go. It will kill the feature as dead as ActiveX plugins. I want to have the cake and eat it.
