Admittedly few, but generally in native land you have the ability to plaster over platform deficiencies with equally-well-performing code. On the web, you can never really compete with the execution speed or integration of the native code in the browser, so you have to accept whatever is there. I'd say OpenSSH (since SSH2) has a better track record than most webapps, as unfair a comparison as that is. In terms of local robustness, there's SeL4, which is also a bit unfair (since it took about a decade for a team of geniuses to prove enough properties to make it probably not very buggy).
