About:
Browserosaurus is an open-source utility that prompts you to select your preferred browser when opening links. It acts as a central handler for URL protocols, ensuring that links from specific applications always open in your chosen browser. This enhances workflow efficiency by eliminating the need to manually copy and paste links between different browsers.
Key Features:
  • Per-application browser selection
  • Support for multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.)
  • Native macOS integration
  • Lightweight and unobtrusive
Use Cases:
  • Opening links from Slack or email in a specific work browser
  • Testing web applications across different browsers from a single source
  • Maintaining separate browsing contexts for personal and professional use
Alternatives:
  • Finicky – More configurable via YAML, but has a steeper learning curve
  • Browser Fairy – Older alternative with a different rule-based approach
