There are virtually tons of developers out there using Android Intents to start "Apps" from the Web.
However, this mechanism sucks big-time since: 1. It leaves the invoking Web page in an "orphaned" state 2. There's no way to "talk back" to the invoked Web page 3. There's no Web page security context available to invoked "App" 4. There's no App/Web life-cycle control The Web2Native Bridge does all that: https://github.com/cyberphone/web2native-bridge#api Unfortunately (or maybe you guys think fortunately) I will most likely implement this in Chromium since there is more activity in that channel. Mozilla have already focused on a similar concept which I doubt will ever be supported in Android: https://browserext.github.io/native-messaging/ In Android Apps does a better job than "in-browser" extensions.
