If you frequently switch between multiple web browsers for development, work, or research, you're likely familiar with the inconvenience of always opening links in your system’s default browser.

Browsersaurus solves this issue by becoming the new default browser on your system. When a link is clicked from a non-browser application, Browsersaurus presents a menu showing all available browsers, letting you choose where to open the link.

For instance, if you click a link in Messages, Slack, Notes, or Tweetdeck, instead of being forced into Safari, you can opt to open it in Chrome, Firefox, or any other installed browser. With Browsersaurus, that flexibility is at your fingertips.

This tool is incredibly useful for web developers, researchers, and anyone who regularly uses more than one browser.

Interested in trying Browsersaurus? It's completely free:

• Download Browsersaurus from Github

Upon launching the app, it will ask to be set as your default browser (you can revert this change anytime through System Preferences).

Once configured, clicking a link from a non-browser app will trigger a popup menu showing all available browsers. If you have many browsers installed, the list is scrollable so you can access all options. Very convenient!

In testing, Browsersaurus works seamlessly with nearly every browser and URL-handling application, including Safari, Chrome, Chrome Canary, Safari Tech Preview, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Zoom, and others.

Alternatively, if you prefer using package managers, you can install Browsersaurus via Homebrew and Cask: brew install --cask browserosaurus

Don’t forget to set Browsersaurus as your default browser for the full experience. If you skip this step during initial setup, you can still enable it later through the menu bar icon.

This app is especially valuable for web developers and anyone who relies heavily on web browsers—whether managing different browsers for specific projects or checking cross-browser compatibility.
