Apple calls these Smart App Banners. Webkit cooperates with iOS to present them according to a meta tag in the page:

You can get rid of them with the Unsmartifier extension.

The StopTheMadness extension can also remove them (among many other things... this extension is a must have for me):

JFC. Are they disabled if you ask for the desktop site?

    I think it won’t. I tried open X.com desktop version on iPad, Safari still showed “open with X app”.
