The document discusses Chrome Apps and Firefox WebApps, which aim to provide native-like capabilities for the web. It asks whether native apps will still be needed in 3 years if the web becomes more capable. Both Chrome Apps and Firefox WebApps allow creating packaged apps that can be distributed and run similarly to native apps but are built with web technologies. While they have different focuses, their goal is the same - to make the web more of a full-fledged platform.
