Create Site Specific Browsers

If you find yourself constantly logged into your favorite webapps, with browser tabs that you can’t bear to close, you should start creating site-specific browsers.  The fine folks at Mozilla have created Prism, which runs on the same engine as their fantastic Firefox browser.  Prism is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.  If you are using Ubuntu Linux, there are a number of pre-made Prism site-specific browsers included in the Hardy Heron repositories.  Just open up Synaptic Package Manager and do a search for “prism”.  For Mac users, there is another option named Fluid.  Fluid is similar to Prism, but is based off of WebKit, the engine that Safari runs on.  Fluid is a cocoa application, so it has better integration with OS X than Prism does.
