If you read my last two tips, on accessing 1Password and Transmission remotely, you’d know that I’m a big fan of SSBs, Site-Specific Browsers.

In those tips I mentioned using Prism on Windows, which works fine, but today I discovered that my favorite Windows browser, Chrome, actually supports SSBs out of the box, and because it uses the Webkit engine, in my opinion, it looks a bit nicer.  In particular, 1Password seemed to have issues with the numbers in the table on the left lining up properly, but renders just fine with Chrome.

And if you already have Chrome installed, why not, right?

And with Chrome it’s reeeeeeeeeeellllly easy.  Just navigate to the page you want to make an SSB out of and click the little page icon in the upper-right-hand corner.  You’ll see “Create application shortcuts…”:
