IIRC, the current version of the GPL does take into account the case
of applications delivered through the browsers.
<quote from GLP-3>
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that,
without permission, would make you directly or secondarily
liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except
executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.
Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without
modification), making available to the public, and in some
countries other activities as well.

Oh. Do you have problems with this:-
<quote2>
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables
other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a
user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is
not conveying.
</quote>
But then, read through:-
<quote3>
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to
forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent
such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this
License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any
intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a
means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third
parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological
measures.
