BrowserFairy 2.2.0

A new Browser Launcher, routing into browser profiles, and a smoother handoff from the Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions.

The new Browser Launcher

The Browser Selector grew up and got a new name. The Browser Launcher is a compact panel you open from anywhere on your Mac with ⌘⌥B. Pick a browser, drill into a profile, press a number to launch. It also appears whenever a link has no matching rule and you asked BrowserFairy to let you choose.

You can move the launcher panel, set the shortcut, and decide what happens for unmatched links in Settings. See Browser Launcher.

Rules can now send a link into a specific browser profile, such as your Work profile in Chrome or a client profile in Firefox. Profile routing is part of BrowserFairy Pro and takes a one-time setup per browser. See Browser profiles.

Better browser extension integration

The Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions hand the current page back to BrowserFairy more reliably, so a page that opened in the wrong browser is one click away from the right one. See Browser extensions.

Also in this release

  • Rules import and export use a versioned file format, so backups made today keep working with future versions.
  • BrowserFairy detects when it has lost the default browser role and cleans up stale registrations.
