Native has different meanings, depending on context. In this context, it means: the binary has been compiled for the platform and the code is executed natively, that is without a VM or interpreter. JS in browsers is commonly not considered native, while QML somehow is. Don't ask me why :)
- postalrat 5y agoSo is chrome a native app?

- starbugs 5y agoBy that definition, yes, but not what runs inside a Chrome tab. I could imagine that the settings, history, etc. is not implemented natively. Didn't look into the code though. As a rule of thumb: If it is compiled for a specific target architecture, it's native code. If not, it's not and you need some other native code to run/interpret your non-native code.
