Just switched from Colloquy. I recommend using Nativefier[1] to turn it into a "native" app, so you don't have to hunt through all your browser tabs for it.

If you use chrome/chromium you can always drag a bookmark into the apps at chrome://apps, right click and tick the "open as window" option. That will turn it into a pretty good standalone app.

Here's a quick example with clicker heroes.

And another with swarm simulator.

I right clicked but I don't see that option. http://i.imgur.com/W1dtHDK.png

Yeah I apologize, at the time it just seemed like a feature that would be universal to chrome/chromium. Guess chrome os doesn't have it.

Looks like "Open as window" option is not available in Chrome osx, it disappeared ~2014 https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/29ZcfR...
