I use the Fluid SSB [1] for the latter. It sandboxes websites that I need to use but are not willing to allow access to my primary browser history/cookie store. It's a little clunky, but it gets the job mostly done.

I love fluid because of the thing the article mentions about Alt/Cmd + Tab... it's hard-wired into my brain to mean "task switch", so I have several web apps that I use all the time (GCal, Pivotal Tracker, Asana to name a few) with Fluid apps so I can quickly change to them.

Yeah, that too. Not having to hunt around for a browser tab is really nice.
