Description
Browser-O-Mat is a white-label browser, meaning you can…
- define one URL to load

What's it for?
I usually keep one or two tabs open in my browser to access my most frequently used websites...this works, but has drawbacks:
- I can't easily access one tab by switching applications (⌘-⇥ , the dock or launchpad)
