Netscape's response is to arrive at a remarkably similar destination by a completely different route: Instead of hiding the browser behind the GUI, Netscape is hiding the GUI behind the browser.
Constellation is a NUI built upon what Netscape calls a "chromeless" browser. The desktop is a full-screen browser window, stripped clean of the usual menus, buttons, icons, and other widgets (the "chrome"). In effect, the browser is the desktop. Like the Active Desktop in Windows, Constellation is a container for displaying rich Web content without all the fuss and bother of a stand-alone browser program.

Very forward thinking, considering two OSes have been built in that image since, one which is quite successful (ChromeOS, with the other being Mozilla's Firefox OS).
And modern PWAs is the same concept, just more in the presentational style of the contemporary-at-the-time HTX container format Microsoft added.
I always though webOS didn't actually use the web stack for its applications but after some reading, I guess it does, though you can also make apps using Qt.
