Where's the Facebook Browser?

Throughout the day I’ve been pondering the state of Facebook and how it functions as an operating system. Last night’s design change made me realize that Facebook is indeed trying to become the web OS but there is one problem with their system right now: how can a website be an operating system? The reality is that browsers are the future operating systems in a digital world which lives in the cloud.

This is why Google released Chrome and has standalone windows that are dedicated specifically to web-based applications that you leave running, such as Gmail.
