Webbedder

In an attempt to provide users with the necessary tools to easily navigate across the ever-changing internet, browsers have been incorporating a wide variety of features that range from PDF-viewing and editing to the omnipresent tab bar allowing them to multitask with ease. This latter element can sometimes be slightly obstructive, which is where Webedder comes into play.

Thanks to their ability to preserve content and load it without a persistent internet access in a pinch, web apps’ separate instances from the main browser and ability to run in a minimalist window with their own icon and title have been a much-needed feature of most Chromium-based navigators.

Unfortunately, when it comes to their Gecko-powered counterparts dominated by Mozilla’s Firefox, this particular functionality seems to be missing, leaving users to either remove most of the UI components of a separate browser instance or simply use the slightly restrictive full-screen mode for their web-app-related needs.

As a result, those seeking to avoid transitioning to a different browser just to make use of this feature can use dedicated add-ons or desktop utilities such as the app at hand. Once installed, initializing it brings up a straightforward window featuring just the title bar to easily move it from one spot to another and the URL box to swiftly paste the link to the desired webpage.

Given this type of modus operandi, users who incorporate 5 or 8-inch touch-screen monitors in their setups can input the homepage leading to a self-hosted smart assistant’s interface for controlling their lighting, for instance, considering the way the app’s own visual footprint takes less compared to a browser’s default configuration.

If your browser happens to have a web-app implementation that does not meet your standards, Webedder may be the right tool for the job, taking into account its ease of use and small memory footprint.
