Windows: How to launch different browsers based on url?

Solution 1:

I found and tried a few alternatives to achieve this.

On Mac I liked Choosy which was great.

On Windows, I like Browser Chooser, free & open-source. It catches system-wide links, outside of browsers (in explorer & other apps). Alas, currently no way to trigger this from inside the browser (Choosy does, via a companion extension).

Then it shows a popup browser selection list, it's also possible to define rules-based (regex, protocol) automatic routing of URLs to various browsers with command-line switches (for profile selection, etc). I don't use that part, I stick to choosing manually.

Fits most of my needs. I'm (still!) surprised not many more options exist. (wishful) Come on tech giants, don't you realize we'd be better off using MANY browsers instead of all fighting trying to be the ONLY ONE ?? Better browser selection built-in would improve our tech lives! Mutualism, not exclusivity, is best for all!
