Choosy... Forget the default browser, Choosy opens links in the right browser. When you click on a link Choosy will do the right thing, whether that's something simple (like using whatever browser is already running) or something complex (like prompting you to pick a browser, but only when you hold down the shift key and click on a link to google.com).
What's New
Version 1.0.3:
- Smarter prompt placement when clicking on a link near the edges of the screen.
- Hovering over an expanded short URL in the prompt will show the full URL.
- Built in support for more URL shortening services including ow.ly, youtu.be, amzn.to and gu.com.
- Fixed a memory leak which would cause Choosy to use slightly more memory each time a short URL was expanded.
- Stopped the background of the circular prompt going black when moving the mouse over the URL.
- Stop the browser name background disappearing in the circular prompt when "display URL" is turned off.
- Fixed occasional blurring of icons and text in the browser prompt.
- The Choosy browser extensions have recently been updated. There are now extensions for Firefox 3, Safari 5 and Google Chrome. You can get them all from the Choosy browsers page.

Not only does Choosy allow me to specify manually which links go to which browser, but I can set up rules so certain links always go to the browser I've specified for that site/application.
I can even send a page from one browser to another browser!
I'm impressed, and missing it now that the shareware time limit has expired. Heading off to purchase now. :)

It would be nice to see on the Menu-bar an Icon of the actuall current default browser (instead of the Choosy icon).
