Browser Fairy overview

Browser Fairy is the one tool to rule them all. Get virtually as many default web browsers as you want.

With Browser Fairy you can you can have individual default web browsers for every app and literally every web page. You always wanted to automatically open different web sites in browsers of your choice? Now you can. Use Browser Fairy to connect your favorite web sites or any app with your prefered browsers.

A click on a link - let's say in Mail or Twitter - Browser Fairy brings up the right browser for you. You got rid of the Flash plugin in Safari? Well, just use Browser Fairy to open your Flash sites in a different browser. While browsing the web in Safari you can easily open Safaris current page in a different browser with a click on the optional Browser Fairy Safari Extension.

By clicking on the "Download Browser Extensions" button Browser Fairy will download the Extension from our web site. No more copy and paste of URLs to different browsers.

Pricing is a deal-breaker. BrowserFairy 2 on the AppStore requires a subscription of $0.99 per month or $9.99 a year (not $4.99 to purchase as the MacUpdate listing says). App Store listing implies a free trial period - but doesn't say how long we get before we need to subscribe to BrowserFairy Pro. No thanks! That's a shame as it looks quite full-featured. OLW (Open Links With) appears to be a free alternative on the AppStore (requires Mac OS 11)

If you use Safari as your primary browser and just want to open up a website in another browser, it is already built-in to Safari. Just open Safari preferences, go to the Advanced menu and at the bottom, click on 'Develop'. Develop will now appear in the Menu Bar. Now when you are on a website you wish to open in a different browser, just click on 'Develop' and 'Open Page With' is right at the top

Remarkably useful for when you want full control over your browsing experience. This goes much further than simply controlling your default browser since it enables you to do things like force Google Drive to use an Epichrome browser instance to open .gdoc, etc. documents from Finder / Path Finder, etc. It takes this further by allowing you to control what URLs open in whichever SSB (Site Specific Browser) you like; whether it's Epichrome, Fluid, Firefox, etc.

If you don't mind the more heavy-handed approach, RCdefaultApp is what I recommend.
