One of the options available to users of the iOS operating system is the possibility of adding shortcuts to web pages or any site through the web address of the page itself and it does not have its own application. Come on, what has been create an application or shortcut of our favorite web pages to access them without using the browser and having to type the address of the same.
This is precisely what allows us to make a tool that is not new, but that it is safe to mention from time to time so that all new Mac users and those who do not yet know it keep it in mind and can use it, since it is quite interesting.
It would be great if OS X Mavericks added this option to create an application on our Mac of origin, as Safari takes on iOS, but at the moment this is not possible and we need to use third-party tools to have the option. But Fluid, which is what this tool is called, allows us precisely this that many of us would like to see OS X come from.
The use of Fluid is really simple and intuitive, and we just have to enter its website, download this tool for Mac totally free and we can create our applications. It is 2,7 MB in size and is compatible with OS X 10.6 or higher. Once downloaded, we open it and a window appears to place the URL of the web, the name that we want to put the application, where we want it to be saved (Desktop, Dock, Finder ...) and it allows us to add our custom icon if we want:
Once this is done, click on Create and we already have the application with its icon and name created automatically to be able to access with just one click on the icon created. Easy, fast and efficient as well as free. What more could you ask for?
And how can you delete the applications you have created?
Good Miguel Angel, you just have to drag it to the trash like a normal application.

Well, I'm sorry to tell you that no, it doesn't erase. Could you tell me why?
Did you get it in the end? They are also erased by dragging the trash can. Could it be that you try to delete it while it is open as Dave comments?
All the best
Well, if I delete it, try with the right button and delete. Before deleting it you have to close the window completely even from the dock.
One question, the icon that creates you opens it only with safari or you can choose browser, since I only use chrome
Hi Jimmy iMac, in principle only with Safari.
