This allows you to manage your web applications along side your desktop apps. SSBs basically provide a single purpose application that launches a single web site with it's own window, process, and icon. We haven't talked much about site-specific-browsers or application shortcuts (Chrome's version of SSBs), but they can be a great way to make your web applications feel more like desktop apps. The script basically automates a solution that I found when looking around online, at the end of this post. While other options exist to create site specific browsers (SSB) based on Firefox (Prism) or Safari (Fluid), I'm a big fan of Chrome, so I wrote a little script that lets you create your own Chrome application shortcuts on a Mac. Unfortunately, application shortcuts are disabled in Chrome for Macs.
One of the best features of Chrome is the ability to create 'application shortcuts' that let you launch web sites as stand alone applications.
