Choosy app chooses browsers (in OS X)
If you're a Mac user, you'll probably have noticed OS X's default browser behavior. You choose a default browser, and links from all your other applications are automatically opened in it. But what if you want more control? An app called Choosy lets you pick a browser for each individual link. You mean every time you click a link in one of your applications, you have to choose a browser? This sounds like it could be a pain, but Choosy can choose a browser for you automatically. It lets you set its behavior based on favorite browsers, or just which browsers you have open.
In any situation where you haven't specified a browser, Choosy will prompt you with a neat little panel that looks like the app picker that pops up when you hit Apple-Tab in OS X. It's an extra click, but at least you know your link will open in the correct browser.
