A longtime fan of Todd Ditchendorf's web app application - Fluid - got an update today - you won't see it if you're using a custom Fluid app (for reasons posted on his web site for Fluid), but you will see it the next time you launch the Fluid host app. The update is pretty sweet IMHO.

Quoting from the web site (http://fluidapp.com):
"Note on macOS 10.12 Sierra compatibility
Fluid 1.8.6 is fully compatible with macOS Sierra.

However, if you are a long-time Fluid user, you will need to download Fluid 1.8.6 and re-create the Fluid Apps you created with prior versions of Fluid. Due to a one-time issue, Auto-Updating prior Fluid Apps will not work for this update.

In the future, Auto-Updating the individual Fluid Apps you've created will once again work as expected.

One other note: in Sierra, Apple has made a change that forces all of your Fluid Apps to use Separate Cookie Storage by default. This is actually great news! You no longer have to purchase a license for this feature, and when running Fluid on Sierra or later, there is no longer an option to change this feature."

This app is one of my two best $5 purchases of software EVER, right up there with GarageBand. The only item I didn't see listed in the updated features that I'm aware of is that Safari 10 (Mac/iOS) is now available in the User Agent options and the version numbers for Chrome and Firefox have been removed - Chrome and Firefox are listed by name only here.

I set up a test web app for Google Maps, and it's pretty slick. I changed the User Agent to Chrome and the "Satellite" option changed to "Earth", just as it does in Chrome - and, the rendering is even faster (Bah, Humbug Google…).
Cheers!
