The 6th most popular web client on Linux

Prism is an application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop.

Prism is a simple XULRunner based browser that hosts web applications without the normal web browser user interface. Prism is based on a concept called Site Specific Browsers (SSB). An SSB is an application with an embedded browser designed to work exclusively with a single web application. It doesn’t have the menus, toolbars and accoutrements of a normal web browser. Some people have called it a "distraction free browser" because none of the typical browser chrome is used. An SSB also has a tighter integration with the OS and desktop than a typical web application running through a web browser.

    Convenient since I use Google Docs often. I'm expecting this software to phase off very soon though with emerging HTML5 apps.
