Hey, cool, it opens external links in my default browser. That's all I've ever wanted in a web-page-to-app tool. It's surprising no one has gotten this right before. Both Mozilla's Prism and Chrome's webbapp-izer functionality get this wrong.

Edit: It doesn't support HTTP authentication, though. Any page that is supposed to present an HTTP auth dialog just goes straight to a 401. This means I can't wrap my personal Transmission/Syncthing servers using nativefier. Edit 2: Looks like this will be fixed soon[1].
