Is it really bandwagonning to be annoyed that so many bits of software, which many people run simultaneously, use a tool where a Hello World is over 100MB in memory?
At least the Electrino idea is more reasonable. Using a framework already loaded into memory by the OS and sharing it would go a long way toward reducing the bloat...though not toward the horrible battery problems it introduces. Seriously, people are still brushing aside issues with something where a blinking cursor caused CPUs to crank up to the max...
On android I think both Chrome and Firefox supports installing a website as an icon on the home screen.
It might already hide the address bar when opened in this mode. I personally expect that it's just a matter of time before this becomes an install mode for desktop apps as well.
