BrowserFairy 2.3.5
Rules now see through Outlook, Teams, Slack, and Google redirect links, so links from your work tools land in the browser you meant.
Rules see the real destination
Links from Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Google search results often arrive wrapped in a redirect address. Outlook's Safe Links turns a GitHub link into a long safelinks.protection.outlook.com address, Slack routes links through slack-redir.net, and Google adds a google.com/url hop. Your rules only ever saw the wrapper, so a rule that begins with https://github.com/ or points at a specific page never matched, and the link went to the fallback browser.
BrowserFairy now reads the real destination out of these wrappers before checking your rules, and opens that destination directly. No lookup is needed, so routing stays as instant as before. See How routing works.
A small request for a rating
Once BrowserFairy has been routing your links for a while, it may ask you once to rate it on the Mac App Store. It will not ask again for months. Ratings help other people find BrowserFairy, so thank you if you take a moment.
