I built + open-sourced the browser picker I wanted on macOS

If you run more than one browser or multiple Chrome profiles for work, personal, and side projects. You have experienced this, every link goes to the wrong place until you copy the URL and paste it somewhere else.

I shipped Choose Browser to fix that. Set it as your default browser. Click any link. Pick the browser and profile. Done.

It’s a spiritual successor to Browserosaurus, with profile support built in from day one.

What it does

• Default-browser handler — intercepts http/https links system-wide.

• Browser + profile chooser — Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Safari, Firefox, and whatever else you have installed.

• Search — filter by browser name, profile label, or profile folder.

• Remember — save a per-domain rule so github.com always opens in your work profile without asking again.

• Menu bar app — lives in the tray; refresh browsers, open your rules file, quit.

Rules live at ~/Library/Application Support/ChooseBrowser/rules.json. Delete the file to reset.
