![]() You can create an unlimited number of rules based on 6 different fields: Web address, source application, link type, number of running browsers, modifier keys and custom API method. Indeed, in case I don’t have an advanced rule for that application, I opted for the all browsers prompt menu. First, choose what it should do when multiple browsers are running at once: should it fire up the best running browser, use your favorite browser or just prompt to select from all of them? The choice it’s up to you, but I don’t really use this option that much. Moving on, after this scanning thing the developer should seriously improve (but you can obviously manually remove those browsers, it’s just I wanted the process to be magic on its own) it’s time to effectively set up the behavior of Choosy. To find out why, and adjust the settings in order to prevent Choosy to be another pain in the neck, you need to open the Preferences. So, the first thing you’ll notice after the installation of Choosy (it’s a prefpane, you only need a double click to install it) is that whenever you’ll try to open a link from an app a HUD-ish panel will overlay your screen asking you to choose between some browsers. ![]() ![]() And as I said, this is very common between web developers. But before I take this thing more in-depth, let me clarify that Choosy is not for everyone: keep reading only if you really need to open links in different browsers for your work purposes. Basically, Choosy lets you specify a default browse r for any link from any application on your Mac and enables you to choose the browser for that link every single time. But what a pain can be to manually open overtime a different link in a different browser? A huge pain.Ĭhoosy (developed by George Brocklehurst ) is a preference pane that will install itself in the System Preferences under the Other tab. That said, if you’re a designer or a developer it’s very likely that you need to test the websites you’re creating under different rendering engines. The rest is either made of variations / beta versions or just shit. Though a few months ago I wrote a huge roundup about the ultimate list of browsers for Mac which featured more than 40 of them, there are actually 4 main browers: Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome.
