I think it's that the integration with the shell is a bit nicer, and it would open the way for use of other webapps too. It's supposed to feel more like an 'app' and less like opening a webpage. But if that doesn't matter then we could probably just open the URL (after generating the country-specific URL) and let the system handle opening it in the user's browser. -- Iain Lane [ [email protected] ] Debian Developer [ [email protected] ] Ubuntu Developer [ [email protected] ] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to webapps-applications in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688627 Title: Amazon web app needs an implemetation that does not require webbrowser app Status in webapps-applications package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in webapps-applications source package in Artful: Confirmed Bug description: Amazon web app needs an implemetation that does not require webbrowser app Possibly consider https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webapps- applications/+bug/1517509 Or, if we ship chromium-browser, it has a webapp mode to launch things as webapps.
