I made a CLI tool to wrap any website into a single executable AppImage.
Yes. But you can also do this natively via Chrome and Chromium-based browsers as well. Though not Linux specific, I've used Epichrome to create single-site-browser apps on macOS for this purpose. I have, for example, multiple apps for Gmail - each with a Gmail icon with the username displayed on the icon so I can easily switch between several Gmail accounts without confusing them, all while keeping cookies and all local content separate.

You might find this useful https://github.com/dmarmor/epichrome. I haven't tried it personally, as I really don't care about the dock. I only use Mission Control or switch using the 3 fingers gesture.

This could literally be implemented by a bash script on linux AND mac and use Chrome OR Firefox for a footprint of under two megabytes by creating wrappers with icons that start the browser in ssb mode, like this for example (no endorsement, just an illustration of the idea) : https://github.com/lhl/chrome-ssb-osx
