Step 3: Customize the rules to decide when the browser your using should direct requests to another browser.įor example, in Firefox I'm using two extensions.ġ to send some links to Opera For Firefox "Open in Chrome" I just set:
#CHROME DEFAULT BROWSER FOR MAC INSTALL#
Grab the Linux, Mac or Windows client for your platform and install it Step 2: Native Client (to enable your browser to open other browsers) Note that Andy Portman has tons of other versions depending on which browser's you use. I use Firefox for everything else, and Chrome for a few sites that just never work in Firefox.Īndy Portman's open source "Open In" extensions solve this for every major browser. There's now a free and portable (Linux, Mac & Windows) way to do this across all major browsers and most importantly, BETWEEN browsers.įor example, I use Opera for a few pinned communication tabs: Gmail, G Calendar, WhatApp, etc. (* Confirm this is what we want to do, and we can make adjustments to the url*)ĭisplay dialog "Set new URL to " default answer fromClip buttons įorce URL link to open with a specific browser
#CHROME DEFAULT BROWSER FOR MAC UPDATE#
(* Theclipboard has an http url so this means we want to update the apps url to open in firefox *) If fromClip starts with "http:" or fromClip starts with "https:" then (* check if the clipboard has an http url*) Now any time you click the App in the Dock it will open the URL in firefox. Step 2, Opening The URL once an URL has been set: It will then set the store URL and clear the clipboard. It will check if the clipboard starts with "http:" if it does it will mean you want to set the url for the app to open in firefox.Ī display dialog will open to confirm this and for you to make any adjustments to the URL. You can change the URL easily any time by following step 1 below.Ĭopy an URL to the clipboard and click the app in the dock. Once a URL is set you just need to click the application at any time in the Dock to open it in FireFox. This means you do not have to hard code the URL into the application. It allows you to dynamically change the URL to open if you ned to. Here is an Applescript that you can save as an Application and access from your dock like any normal application.
