Mozilla WebRunner: a one-window, tabless browser with no URL bar
No, seriously. That's exactly what WebRunner is: the simplest web browser you've seen since... well, ever. (Well, unless you count text-based browsers like Lynx). This Mozilla project can render pretty much any page or content that you can access in Firefox. But it comes without any bells and whistles. At all.

Like Google Docs & Spreadsheets, but wish you didn't have to leave it open in a browser tab all the time? No problem, just fire it up in WebRunner and think of it as a standalone application that only works when your computer's connected to the internet.
You load websites by clicking on WebRunner "bundles," which are basically zipped archive files holding configuration data, icons, and scripts. You can create your own bundles or download existing bundles for most Google services (Reader, Mail, Docs, Analytics) and a few other sites like Twitter and Facebook.
