AltBrowse - Browser Picker

PICK THE RIGHT BROWSER, EVERY TIME

  Click any link and AltBrowse shows a beautiful picker with all your installed browsers. Select with a click or keyboard shortcut. Set your default
  browser from the menu bar in two clicks — no more digging through macOS System Settings.

  6 PICKER LAYOUTS

  Choose the style that fits your workflow:
  • Grid — classic icon grid with labels
  • Dock — minimal, compact icons
  • List — clean vertical list with browser names
  • Hero — your most-used browser front and center
  • Radial — pie menu for instant mouse-driven selection
  • Preview — live web page loading before you choose

  SITE RULES

  Create rules that automatically route domains to the right browser:
  • GitHub and dev tools → Chrome
  • Personal browsing → Safari
  • Privacy-focused sites → Brave
  Subdomains are included automatically. Specific subdomain rules override broader ones.

  APP RULES

  Route links based on which app you clicked them in:
  • Links from Slack → Chrome
  • Links from Mail → Safari
  • Links from Notes → Firefox
  Set it once, forget it. AltBrowse handles the rest.

  SMART ROUTING PRIORITY

  AltBrowse checks rules in order and stops at the first match:
  1. ⌘-click — always shows the picker
  2. App Rules — if the source app has a rule
  3. Site Rules — if the domain has a rule
  4. Default Browser — if one is set
  5. Picker — otherwise
