I was actually going to build the above to show how the manifest can be used to target any browser that supports "add to home screen" (by just converting the manifest members into their proprietary equivalents)... I thought it was a good idea and not very contrived :( [1] http://w3c-webmob.github.io/installable-webapps/#icons -- Marcos Caceres
