What does the standalone launcher give you?

What I'm thinking is that having a browser interface QA can click on
from the desktop and enter say 5 urls into is fast yet tests a
significant amount of the system, much like booting X on a system
doesn't test everything but it does test a fair amount of simple things
like whether the binaries work.
