    Chrome and Chromium have this functionality built-in. They call it Application Shortcuts. Instructions to use it are here.

    • Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.
    • Select Tools.
    • Select Create application shortcuts.
    • In the Gears dialog the appears, select the checkboxes for the locations where you want shortcuts to be placed.
    • Click OK.

  2. If you wish to create a separate environment for a specific browser application, just create a directory for user data, then edit a desktop shortcut and add a directive: --user-data-dir=DIR (see chromium -h or man chromium)
