still Chrome has a purpose to push away people from desktop programs to
WebApps, because of all the advertisement, marketing and tracking possibilities
WebApps give to the companies, especially Google. WebApps also meansdata is not
stored locally, but remotely.Not to mention Chrome sends your history to
Googleservers when you log in into Google Account(Gmail, Youtube).I know some
people can write open-source WebAppsand host them on their private servers or
at leastpaid VPSes, but how many?
