If web programs are going to replace native They’ll require the near-instantaneous responsiveness of desktop programs. That seems to be on the horizon, thankfully. Google is unveiling Chrome tools that will help web programs run as quickly as their native counterparts, and of course make them more usable offline. A recently introduce Web Packages frame will let developers distribute fast-loading net apps through”virtually any format,” including USB drives — you wouldn’t even need to be online to begin using an app. Background syncing and context indexing, meanwhile, will allow apps”proactively” cache info to make sure it’s quickly available whether or not you’re linked.

It is up to Developers to use these technologies, so don’t expect the web to change. That is especially true when lots of website creators may want software-agnostic web programs that work well on Firefox, Opera, Safari and other common browsers. If enough net app writers do adopt this, though, Chromebooks may be more viable for people used to the performance and convenience of apps on other platforms.
