A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Made to do one thing well, then get out of the way.
Ask a questionChrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi support profile selection, along with detected Firefox profiles. Safari and other detected browsers can open links, but Safari profile selection and Firefox containers aren’t supported. Profiles must be in standard locations.
No. Browser Selector reads browser and profile names, not your cookies, passwords, or browsing history. Links aren’t logged or sent to a service.
No background service is needed. Your system opens Browser Selector when another app sends a web link to your default browser. It shows the chooser and passes the link to your selection.
It handles HTTP and HTTPS links opened through your system default browser. Links inside a browser stay there. Apps with built-in browsers or their own browser preferences can bypass the chooser.
Yes. Choose your usual browser in your system’s default-app settings whenever you want. Browser Selector doesn’t replace or modify your browsers.
