webapp-rs

Create isolated web apps using Firefox profiles. Each app has its own cookies, storage, and settings. It is heavily inspired by the webapp tool from the Linux Mint team, but I wanted to have something simpler and more versatile. For now, it only supports Firefox and Linux, but it is structured in a way that's easy to add support for other systems.
