For macOS users who frequently work with multiple web browsers, Browserosaurus offers a streamlined way to manage links. When a link is clicked outside of a browser, Browserosaurus presents a menu of installed browsers, allowing users to choose which browser to use for the link. This open-source application is designed to simplify workflow by providing quick access to various browsers.

Key Features

Browserosaurus is highly customizable, detecting installed browsers on the user's system and offering options to set a favorite browser for quicker access. Users can navigate through available browsers using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts, making it efficient to switch between different browsers as needed.

Installation and Setup

To start using Browserosaurus, users can download the application from the GitHub releases page, selecting the appropriate version for their macOS architecture (Intel or Apple Silicon). Alternatively, installation can be done using Homebrew. Once installed, setting Browserosaurus as the default browser enables its functionality.

User Experience

The application's interface is straightforward, displaying icons for detected browsers when a link is clicked. Users can then select a browser to open the link. The favorite browser feature enhances usability by enlarging the icon of the preferred browser, allowing for quick access via the Enter key.

Extensibility and Community

As an open-source project, Browserosaurus has inspired forks and variations, such as Browseratops for Windows and Browserino, a Swift UI port. This community aspect contributes to its versatility and adaptability to different user needs.
