Cappuccino-IconFrom the site:

Cappuccino is an open source framework that makes it easy to build desktop-caliber applications that run in a web browser.

If you cannot download Google Chrome (not available for us Mac and Unix types :-(), you can at least spend time reading the most excellent comic book that explains the browser. Why? Because, IMHO, it is a veritable modern CS 101 (operating systems, process/memory management, threading, interpreted languages, and so on)! Check it out!
