WebRunner 0.7 - New and Improved. A simple application for running a site-specific browser for a service (e.g. Twitter, Gmail etc). This is a great idea: it isolates your other browser windows from crashes and also isolates your cookies, helping guard against CSRF attacks.
Site-specific browsers are indeed a fine thing. I'm using MailPlane on OS X, and it's a delight to not have to command-tab, command-backtick then ctrl-tab through multiple apps, browser windows and tabs every time I want to find GMail.
Definitely the way forward as more sovereign-posture apps migrate to the web.
