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?

For a browser you should look for a browser extension. I don’t use such extensions so can’t recommend any.

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.

u/mvs_sai_27OP

okk will check choosy once okk other guy mentioned about bettertouchtool do you have any idea about it?

u/mvs_sai_27OP

thank you will check it out

u/mvs_sai_27OP

links? they also work like this?

u/snarky_one

If you can drag the link from whatever app you are in, yes

u/mvs_sai_27OP

Ohh last release was on may so still being developed?

Sindre Sorhus! King of native macOS apps that does one and only one thing well.

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

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)

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).

Looks interesting will check it out

I didn't know he was the King, I'll have to check out some of his other apps!

u/mvs_sai_27OP

But for other browsers?

u/forgottenmostofit

Look in the appropriate extension store.

u/NJRonbo

Bumpr is cheaper than Choosey at $3. I like Bumpr, personally. Also this free option on GitHub https://github.com/will-stone/browserosaurus

u/snarky_one

You can also just drag a file to a browser icon in the Dock

u/Beardy4906

https://github.com/fluffypony/yojam there was this, but not sure whats going on with its maintainenance

u/forgottenmostofit

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.

u/Simple-Welcome-1415

https://sindresorhus.com/velja might work for you with some setup.

u/forurspam

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.

Openin is the most versatile of the lot imho
