        Firefox has supported this since last year (on every OS: Linux, *BSD, Mac, Windows, Android, Firefox OS).

              ^This.

              And I've noticed that Google's "Soon to come to Linux" really means "Who cares about Linux, let's work on something else now!"

                    never understood (and probably never will) the fascination with web-based applications and software.

                    Always prefer to have all my software run natively within the operating system as installed native applications and not as some layer over a web application.
