According to one general aspect, a method of executing a web application installed on an apparatus may include executing, via a processor included by the apparatus, a web browser. The method may include loading, via the web browser, the web application. In some embodiments, the web application may include a manifest and at least a portion of a web site and wherein the web application was packaged as an installable entity. The method may further include managing, by the web browser, the execution of the web application. The method may include accessing, via the web browser, from a local storage medium one or more portions of the web site included by the web application. In some embodiments, the one or more portions of the web site may have been stored in the local storage medium when the web application was installed.

Installable web applications

Systems and techniques are described for efficient, general-purpose, and potentially decentralized databases, distributed storage systems, version control systems, and/or other types of data repositories. Data is represented in a database system in such a way that any value is represented by a unique identifier which is derived from the value itself. Any database peer in the system will derive an identical identifier from the same logical value. The identifier for a value may be derived using a variety of mechanisms, including, without limitation, a hash function known to all peers in the system. The values may be organized hierarchically as a tree of nodes. Any two peers storing the same logical value will deterministically represent that value with a graph, such as the described 'Prolly' tree, having the same topology and hash value, irrespective of possibly differing sequences of mutations which caused each to arrive at the same final value.

Distributed database systems and structures

A computer-implemented method includes running a background element that is an invisible element in a browser application, where the background element includes a declared association with an application and includes instructions related to one or more visible elements of the application in the browser application and executing the instructions on the background element to perform a function related to the one or more visible elements of the application in the browser application.

Background element associated with an application installed in a browser application

Described herein are systems, methods, computer program products, and combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for enabling web content (as well as other objects) to be loaded on mobile devices (as well as other types of devices), and for users of mobile devices to operate with such web content on their mobile devices in an interactive manner while in an off-line mode.

System, method, and computer program product for server side processing in a mobile device environment

An extension schema validator may be executable within an extension process of an extension of a browser application, and may be configured to validate the extension with respect to an extension application program interface (API) that is provided in conjunction with the browser application for implementation of the extension. A browser schema validator may be executable within a browser process of the browser application, and may be configured to validate the extension with respect to the extension API. Successful validation of the extension by the extension schema validator prior to attempting validation of the extension by the browser schema validator may be required.

Schema validation for secure development of browser extensions

According to one general aspect, a method of managing a web browser extension by an apparatus may include executing, by a processor included by the apparatus, a web browser. The method may include installing on the apparatus, via the web browser, a web browser extension. In one embodiment, the web browser extension may include at least one web page configured to alter the functionality of the web browser, and a substantially unique identifier (UID) based upon a public encryption key. The method may further include launching, via the web browser, the web browser extension based upon the substantially unique identifier.

Web browser extensions

According to one general aspect, a computer-implemented method may include sending, from a computing device to a server, a request to install a web-based application on the computing device. In various embodiments, the method may also include receiving, from the server, an installation procedure for the web-based application. In some embodiments, the installation procedure may include installing the web-based application on the computing device. The procedure may also include specifying a web extent for the web-based application. In various embodiments, the web extent may include a first web origin for the web-based application, and a second web origin for the web-based application.
