I used a combination of the above because my app works in the browser as well as on device. The problem with browser is it won't let you close the window from a script unless your app was opened by a script (like browsersync).

        if (typeof cordova !== 'undefined') {
            if (navigator.app) {
                navigator.app.exitApp();
            }
            else if (navigator.device) {
                navigator.device.exitApp();
            }
        } else {
            window.close();
            $timeout(function () {
                self.showCloseMessage = true;  //since the browser can't be closed (otherwise this line would never run), ask the user to close the window
            });
        }
