I load just the extensions I want and stay focused on the work. All the bookmarks and extensions I need for writing or browsing groovyPost are right there.Ĭustomizing my browsing experience for an individual website in Chrome keeps it from being slow and unreliable. In this example, I’m logging into my groovyPost email. These apps are easy to find with a Spotlight search.Īfter you create your app, the cookies, logins, and bookmarks stay within that app. Here I named it groovyPost, but I also have ones for my different Google Voice accounts and some social media sites. If you want to add a custom icon, Chrome-SSB gives you the option. I, of course, chose groovyPost for this example. After you launch the app, it asks you which URL to use for your site-specific browser app. Getting Started With Chrome SSBįirst, you need to download and install Chrome-SSB from GitHub. Yes, I could just navigate to Facebook, but that’s an extra step. I’m likely to get distracted by social media, so using a stand-alone app instead of a browser keeps me on course. Any site you go to is a good candidate for a stand-alone app. Now I have a separate app for every Google login. I have a different extension for each of these. The other reason I like SSB is I have a ton of Google logins one for my business, another for my alma mater, and yet another for my non-profit volunteer work. I could use an extension manager each time I browse a different page, but that’s a pain, and I never do it. Once I found Chrome SSB, I created site-specific apps along with just the extensions I needed for that site.įor example, when I shop at Amazon, I use the price matching and comparison extension, and when I use my Facebook SSB, I have all that stuff off but turn on my Facebook extension. Fluid for Safari already does this, but Mac Chrome users were left out of the party. The app has its own preferences, extensions, and cookies.
A site-specific browser app creates a customized app for a website.
