** Description changed:

  This is a feature freeze exception request to integrate the following
  feature in the upcoming Ubuntu 14.04 release.
  
  The overall web application support in Ubuntu currently relies on
  various components and a web container(s) in particular.  So far we have
  been using Firefox and Chromium, by way of browser extensions, to
  detect, host and integrate web applications in Ubuntu.
  
  On mobile devices however, we have already switched to using our own webapp container, based on webbrowser-app.
- The integration itself has been present as an option since 13.10. However we have been using the QtWebkit engine so far.
