Are you still using a web browser to access your favourite online applications? Why not do things the easy way, and make those applications part of your desktop with Prism. Scott Nesbitt at Freesoftware Magazine tells you what Prism can do to boost you experience of the web on your desktop -and more importantly, how to do it. Read the full story at FSM. Editor's Note: This story looks at Prism from the point of view of a Gnome user on Linux, but Prism can be used on Mac OS and Windows as well. Check out the Prism project page for information on other platforms.

Looks like a solution for a nonexisting problem.
Right now nothing stops me from adding any link or favorites to my startmenu or whatever I use to open applications. On Windows I even just need to drag them there.
And if the browser widgets are such a terrible problem, an option to not load/show them included in the browser would be more elegant than installing another app/extension.
Having a command like: "startbrowser www.webapp.com --no-widgets" would be more convincing, the only problem would probably be that it wouldn't justify a shiny website or calling it a project, though...
