So, you don't use any browser apps?

That must be pretty hard to do. I think going without a browser+javascript would be pretty primative... I mean, I pay my bills, send emails, hell view the site I'm on as browser applications. I remember being online in 1993 (vga, bbsing, dialup ftw), it wasn't nearly as diverse or capable as today.

That's not at all what they said. Some of us use browsers that are not chrome. That would mean having to run 2 browser runtimes to get a thin wrapper with chrome.

I believe Firefox has, or used to have the ability to launch a standalone browser without extra chrome for a specific site (maybe not via the UI)... IIRC IE on Windows 7+ offers the same functionality.

If you're using Opera or Safari, I have no idea.
