What are some examples of applications that succeed in this? The only one I can think of that is successful is Google Maps. Though lately I seem have all sorts of problems navigating it, so maybe it's no longer a success. "Feeling like you're no longer in a browser" isn't really a customer goal or a product goal. It could be a means to an end, depending on the application, but I don't see that many people executing it effectively. The more common case by far seems to be people who want too much control, without realizing that they are actually degrading the experience (i.e. by messing up navigation, hyperlinks, copy-paste, accessibility, latency, etc.)
