+<h1>Disabled Web Features</h1>
+<!-- -->

+<p>
+Though packaged apps use the web platform,
+some web features have been disabled
+or else are used in a different way.
+Mainly this is to avoid security issues and
+to improve programming practices.
+Below is a summary of the disabled features
+of the web platform
+and potential work-arounds:
