With these microbrowser webkit apps, if any of them crash, you don't lose the rest of what you were doing. Until there's really good support for session saving, I'll take individuals apps over tabbed apps anyday.

I invite others to help the project; http://chip.cuccio.us/projects/vibekit/#devel It's 100% open source.

I've ended up resorting to configuring NetVibes in Camino (where I can delete blocks) and then reloading VibeKit. Hopefully Chip can take care of that!

Seems to block all dialogues. Nice start though. I didn't know about netvibes before this either.. looks nice. I'd been playing with http://protopage.com/ for a couple weeks and it has been useful - but i doesn't have the features or webkit compatibility netvibes has. might have to switch :) Can’t close widgets on the page.

I imagine you could do something similar with XUL Runner... @Alex -- it'll link off to your default browser. In that sense, at least for me, it's kind of like a Dock for web apps. Having it in a standalone app means I can also CMD-Tab to it rather than hunting through multiple browser windows or tabs. @børge — don’t know of anything right now, but I’ll share this with the NetVibes guys and see what they think.
