Great tool - best topical based browser available. I call it this instead of SSB (single-site-browser) because it can be used to segregate browsing into topics such as for research or shopping. So, for example, one might want to create a browser for "Health" that includes research on health topics and their doctors' and health insurance websites.

Extremely useful and the developer is very interested in both feedback and fixing issues.

Only wish there were a Windows version of this as well for those miserable times where one has to use Windows.

Love it. The feature of opening external unrelated links in your regular browser is killer.

What is epichrome?

Epichrome is an application (Epichrome.app) and Chrome extension (Epichrome Helper) to create and use Chrome-based SSBs on Mac OSX.

Epichrome is made up of two parts: an AppleScript-based Mac application (Epichrome.app) and a companion Chrome extension (Epichrome Helper). Epichrome.app creates Chrome-based site-specific browsers (SSBs) for Mac OSX (Chrome must be installed in order to run them, but they are full Mac apps, each with its own separate Chrome profile).

Each app automatically installs Epichrome Helper, which uses rules to decide which links the app should handle itself, and which should be sent to the default web browser.
