My hate for this behavior grows with each passing year as more and more of the "apps" I use become browser windows.

This is why I regard ChromeOS with fear. Because it really does feel like everything is just converging on the browser as the OS, and a browser is not a goddamn OS.

The browser is effectively an OS - and it’s not very productive to cling to the notion that it isn’t one

It's not very productive to build an entire OS on top of and JIT compiled on top of my already mature and functional OS. It's a waste of my time.

And if it is an OS, it's also just not one where I can be very productive.
