What is Fluid?
Are you a Gmail, Facebook, Basecamp or Pandora fanatic? Do you have 20 or more browser tabs open at all times? Are you tired of some random site or ad crashing your browser and causing you to lose data in other tabs?
If so, Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) provide a great solution for your web app woes. Using Fluid, you can create SSBs to run each of your favorite web apps as a separate desktop application. Fluid gives any web app a home on your Mac desktop.
Creating a Fluid app out of a website is simple. Enter the website’s URL, provide a name, and optionally choose an icon. Click “Create”, and within seconds your chosen website has a permanent home on your Mac as a real Mac application that appears in your Dock.
Comments and Reviews
Construct a site-specific browser with Fluid. In the SSB, navigate to Preferences – Whitelist. You can either allow browsing to any URL or to a URL matching the given patterns. I would prefer to set up the whitelist before constructing the SSB and lock the whitelist from within the SSB. Can anyone recommend an app that can do this?
