How can we configure in macos to make right click be a browser selector?
Basically title, I want to click on any link and it shud give me a context menu to choose a browser. is there any app for that? or is there any way to configure it? Also it's not like all yt links in one browser(basically not like finicky i tried) thing is sometimes I want to watch a yt video in different browser. So a contxt menu on right click is very useful? can u pls suggest an app for it?

Choosy does exactly this. Set it as the default browser and every link you click from any app pops a small picker with your installed browsers, plus optional rules for links you always want in the same place. Paid but one time. The catch forurspam mentioned applies to any of these though, a link clicked inside a browser stays in that browser, the picker only sees clicks that go through the system default.
okk will check choosy once okk other guy mentioned about bettertouchtool do you have any idea about it?
I do. Better touch tool has the ability to do this with some configuration, but if you do not already own, it it is overkill. My current setup is: normal left click - open in default browser. Left click with modifier key on keyboard - a browser chooser pops up. (with shortcut letters to select a browser from the keyboard as well).
Bumpr is cheaper than Choosey at $3. I like Bumpr, personally. Also this free option on GitHub https://github.com/will-stone/browserosaurus
thank you will check it out
You can also just drag a file to a browser icon in the Dock
links? they also work like this?
If you can drag the link from whatever app you are in, yes
https://github.com/fluffypony/yojam there was this, but not sure whats going on with its maintainenance
Ohh last release was on may so still being developed?
should be ok.. I don't really use more than one browser so I don't need the app. You can always open an issue and ask the dev
You need a Safari extension to add to the right click menu. I have not used it, but looks like "Open Browser in Safari" (from Mac App Store) does what you want.
But for other browsers?
Look in the appropriate extension store.
https://sindresorhus.com/velja might work for you with some setup.
Sindre Sorhus! King of native macOS apps that does one and only one thing well.
I didn't know he was the King, I'll have to check out some of his other apps!
There are apps that can handle it in other apps. They won’t work inside a browser though. Personally I use Browserino which is free and open source.
let me check browserino then > and they won't work inside a browser though ahh that's a shame
For a browser you should look for a browser extension. I don’t use such extensions so can’t recommend any.
Better Touch Tool
i heard about it never used though; it's like automation tool right? can it help with my problem? is it already done before? if u are using it cna u share what to do?
BTT has Floating Menus. Create one called "Open In...". Add buttons for each browser (Arc/ Safari/etc). Each button simply runs an Apple script: tell application "Arc" open location the clipboard end tell macOS does not expose the URL under the cursor to BetterTouchTool. Right-clicking on a hyperlink only shows the application's context menu. So, 1. Select or copy any URL & then 2. call a BTT trigger ( such as ⌥⌘O, a three-finger tap, or a mouse button)
Openin is the most versatile of the lot imho
Looks interesting will check it out
