That's a good point to raise.

Yes, I am looking for a general way to turn an HTML-page app into a
stand-alone desktop app. That does mean no location bar, no tabs, no
history navigation, etc.; just rendering the one HTML page with its
JavaScript and other resources.

I think Mozilla's XULRunner would have done this, but it is reportedly
obsolete upstream for years now. What is in Debian now that I should use
instead?
