Browserosaurus
An open-source browser prompter for macOS that lets you choose which browser opens clicked links.
What is Browserosaurus?
Browserosaurus is an open-source browser prompter application for macOS that intercepts link clicks from non-browser applications and presents a menu of installed browsers for the user to choose from. It replaces the system's default browser behavior, allowing flexible browser selection per link. The project is licensed under GPLv3 and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
macOS users who frequently switch between multiple browsers and want to choose which browser opens links on a per-click basis, particularly developers, power users, and those who value open-source software.
It provides a simple, lightweight solution to macOS's rigid default browser system, offering control and customization without complex configuration. Being open-source, it allows community forks and tweaks for specific needs, unlike proprietary alternatives.
