In a comment to the post on Michael McCracken’s “Distraction-free” Gmail WebKit browser, Justin Reid posts about how he does the same thing in Camino using javascript bookmarklets.
He uses this script to open his Gmail in a distraction-free Camino window:
And another for GCal (which I quickly hacked out of his Gmail script).
Nice! Just Command-click on the links above and select “Bookmark this link…” to install them.
They also work in Firefox, as one might expect.

It works on Firefox on my Windows PC at work.
This works in the latest version of Opera, too. Nice work.
This is very cool, thanks to Michael for the script and Tim for publicizing it! This has an advantage over the Webkit version in that you can use this with the great Gmail Greasemonkey scripts. For more info, have a look at Lifehacker.
Very nice Tim (and Justin!). Works a treat. Now I just have to resist the temptation to CMD+T to open a new tab ;-)
This is great… but one of the best things about the original webkit solution is that it’s a separate application. With the bookmarklet you could still close your browser and thereby close your gmail or gcal
please i want to open afree gmail
Praise, you must be the last person on the planet not to have one.
I’ve sent you an invitation. Use it wisely! ;-)
I’m using Gmail Browser constantly these days.
Works great in Epiphany. Many thanks!
Is it possible to change a hidden setting in Google Notifier so that it uses this javascript bookmarklet when opening my inbox?
Or, is it possible to add camino/firefox bookmarklets to the dock?
I like Gmail browser because I have a Gmail icon on my dock and I can Alt-Tab to my Gmail. On the other hand, I can drag and drop files from Finder to be attachments in Firefox and it seems faster than Camino or Webkit.
surely you meant ctrl-click (command-click) just opens the page.
um, lol, what I meant to say was that command-click just open the page. ctrl-click opens the menu.
ugh, whatever, you know what I mean and we know what you meant. lol.
