You start running out of browsers quickly, and seperate browser users gets tedious fast. I really wish there was easy same browser sandboxing that can save cookies and so on. Double click the gmail icon, and gmail comes up in a browser user devoted to just gmail, and shows up as a separate process and separate app. All of the 'make a webpage an app' apps that I've tried still share browser state amongst the main browser user.
- bmuon 14y agoYou can create profiles in Firefox and run them all at the same time by creating links like "firefox.exe -p ProfileName --no-remote". Now that there's a Firefox Marketplace you can even have full window webapps in their own little sandboxes.
- jewel 14y agoThis is easy to do with chrome. I have many different profiles, all of which are completely separate. Just launch with the --user-data-dir argument: #!/bin/bash exec chromium-browser --user-data-dir=/home/jewel/.profiles/facebook -app=https://facebook.com
- stephengillie 14y agoDoes that both specify the custom profile location, and also launch the FB app? I'm looking at this, trying to think of how to do the equivalent in Windows.
- jewel 14y agoIt launches it in app mode (no tabs, no URL bar). I'm not sure if that's the same thing as launching the FB app. In windows you copy the chrome shortcut and then edit the shortcut to add the command-line arguments. Then you add the shortcut to your launcher bar. Alternatively, you could create a batch file for each site that you want to isolate somewhere in PATH and launch it from the Start -> Run menu. In other words, you'd press the start key, then type "facebook", then press enter. (Please correct me if my instructions are incorrect, I haven't used windows regularly for a long time.)
