Rather than loading up your web browser, you can simply double click the QLPrism icon on your desktop to directly launch Quake Live. This package essentially combines Quake Live and a modified version of Mozilla Lab's Prism, which is an application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop. In other words, QLPrism allows you to basically have a lightweight, stand-alone version of Quake Live.Download
You could separately/manually configure and install Quake Live and Prism, however that can be complicated and time consuming. Also, QLPrism includes some specific custom features and modifications that are not available with regular Prism. The whole point of QLPrism is to skip those difficult steps by providing you with a bundled QL + Prism package that is ready to go with a simple double click. This is a great alternative for those who have been recently having problems running Quake Live in other browsers, especially Google Chrome. Or for those wishing to run QuakeLive in a less bloated environment than a traditional web browser. I put this together in order to save people a lot of time so they can just play. For both Windows (7/Vista/XP) and Linux (32 and 64-bit).
