Claim 14:
15. A method to control application selection, the method comprising:
determining, by executing an instruction with processor circuitry, whether a selected first icon corresponds to a native application to be executed by an operating system or a first browser application to be executed by a browser;
in response to detecting the selected first icon corresponds to the first browser application, determining, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, whether the first browser application is currently running in the browser;
in response to detecting the first browser application is not running in the browser, removing a prior instance of the first browser application from memory prior to launching, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, the first browser application in the browser instead of the operating system; and
in response to detecting a navigation attempt beyond a boundary of the browser, causing, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, display of one or more second icons on the browser.
