Does anyone know if it is possible to set a default browser for specific applications? I use Chrome for about 30% of my work daily, and I almost exclusively want any link that is in Discord to be opened in Chrome. But the rest of my workflow and personal life is in Safari so I don’t want to change Chrome to be the primary apart from in Discord, I couldn’t see anything within the Discord preferences but maybe I am looking in the wrong place
On iOS, a workaround is to use Opener in order to send a link to a given browser (requires more taps though). On Mac, an extension like Shareful would do the trick (send to a specific browser). But it’s always going to be a little manual as far as I know, I don’t think you could readily automate that.
+1 for Choosy. It can do this, and I don’t know of any other ‘Choose A Browser’ app that lets you specify where links from specific apps should go (usually they are only specific domains/websites)
I think it’s actually better to just build a script in Shortcuts app to open anything in whatever app you want. For example, I have one that routes reddit links to apollo, twitter links to twitterrific, PDF files to GoodReader and LiquidText, and etc.
+1 for Choosy. It’s fantastic. I have it set to open all Google Hangouts links (for work) in Chrome, but otherwise I pick a browser on the fly. Very helpful (and far less complicated than it sounds) given that I use different browsers for different purposes and usually have 3 browsers running with multiple tabs in all of them.
Hiya, Orca! I just bought Opener. The price sure is nice. I think I understand its purpose or rather what it does but can you explain it to me a little bit, please?
It’s basically the iOS equivalent of right-click > open with on the Mac (with the iOS limitations of course)
Especially handy if you don’t want something opened in the corresponding app !
Hi there, just found this topic and wanted to share I found https://browserosaurus.com to be more flexible than Choosy. It’s a better option I think and it’s also free (Choosy is 10 dollars).
