Google Chrome has inbuilt support for creating single site browsers. What this means is, you can create a direct shortcut to a web site you like on your desktop, start menu, or pinned to your taskbar, clicking on which will open the website in its own window, as if it were a normal desktop application. Such windows will not even have the minimal UI that Google Chrome has. They are simple windows with a title bar and the content of the web page.
This can be incredibly useful for web applications such as Gmail, or Aviary. If one application crashes, it will not bring down the other applications or the tabs opened in Google Chrome. Additionally, each such application will appear as a separate icon in the task bar instead of grouping with your other Google Chrome Windows.

Creating such a web application shortcut is simple, click on the wrench-menu, and under the “Tools” submenu, you will find “Create application shortcuts…”. Clicking on this will pop up a dialog that will give you the option to create shortcuts on your desktop, start menu, and the task bar.
