That sounds awesome. Can you share your repo, if it's public?

  The current version isn't really ready for public consumption right now I'm afraid (the current version has my favourite Chrome profiles hard coded, and some weird debug logging to a hard coded file location). But I have been meaning to clean up and release it. So perhaps I'll get around to that soon.

    Great idea! I was thinking about something similar too. Having multiple browsers doesn't have to suck...and having to fiddle with galternatives or KDE systemsettings isn't ideal. May I suggest you to add a small (and optional!) config file to automate your UI - like e.g.: [Sources] Telegram=chrome profile B Discord=epiphany [Destinations] https://www.google.com=firefox profile A If the config is there, you'd then only show the UI when neither sources nor destinations match (regexes). This would make it a must have tool IMHO :)

      Yes, I'd love to do that. There is in fact already an app that does this on macOs (https://github.com/johnste/finicky https://github.com/johnste/finicky). And you can chain them so that finicky runs first and then calls a chooser UI "browser" as a fallback. But I would like to incorporate it into my app so that I don't have to run two apps (and so that I can make it work cross-platform).

  You can have a look at Choosy (https://choosy.app/ https://choosy.app/) if a paid solution works for you. (Not affiliated at all, just a happy user).

    +1 for Choosy for macOS.
