A tangible example is in order, and let's continue the Chrome extension
line of thinking...

In my Chrome browser I have the bitly extension (https://kti.news/2lr39ZC
).
It is very small app that has only a few features. Compare that to a
larger extension like Secure Shell(https://kti.news/2krStLU) which gives
me
full ssh terminal capabilities in Chrome. There are extensions that are
even bigger, like our use of DialPad for KrengelTech's VOIP system. For
awhile all the DialPad Chrome extension did was make it simpler to obtain
the fuller Dialpad desktop application.

Does that help?

In regards to whether it helps or not depends (for me at least) on whether
or not you view Dash for i literally as a collection of browser extensions,
written using language environments that run on PCs and mobile devices
(i.e. Adobe Flash), or whether you're just speaking abstractly about Dash
for i being a collection applications such as:

a. work with user profiles.
b. work with spool files.
c. work with output queues.
