What I mean by "traditional applications" is apps that are perceived by the user as no different from what they're used to; which is to say that they're somehow installed, they have icons showing up on some form of local launcher, etc. This is distinct from apps that exist inside a browser tab. I'm not sure the distinction is useful, I mostly want to express that these APIs are usable in normal apps just as well as in extensions. I'm not trying to make a contrast with apps written in Java, ObjC, or things like that. If that were the case, I would have spoken of "legacy applications" ;) -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
