I previously wrote about Fluid which is an app that lets you create site specific browsers on a Mac. Turns out you can do the same thing in Windows as well with Bubbles. If you are tired of your browser that has 18 tabs open crashing while you are writing an email in Gmail, or watching the latest thing on YouTube, then Bubbles is for you.

I don’t about you, but having Firefox crash 5 or so times a day because of some random javascript or flash ad while I have Gmail, Google Reader and a Google Document I was working on open doesn’t really help in the productivity department. The session restore option in Firefox is cool and all, but thank god I found Fluid.

Fluid lets you create Site Specific Browsers based on Safari’s WebKit engine complete with their own icon. There is even a Flickr group for icons. Get your webapps on your desktop and keep your browsing in its own pit.
