Re: Docking browser tabs to windows manager.
The Chromium (and Chrome) browsers have (or had) a feature called
"application link" which does something similar to what you are asking
for. You browse to a site/page/app that you wish to make into an
"application", and then ask the browser to create an "application link".
In the background this creates a .desktop file which instructs a new
instance of chrome to be launched, that is isolated in some fashion from
your normal one. As it's a .desktop file, it shows up in your desktop
environment's list of applications, has an icon, etc. The browser that
starts when you launch it is treated as separate in GNOME's alt-tab
window (for example) for selecting applications, and the browser URL bar
and buttons typically do not get drawn for that instance.
