Products that do what Linklever makes the concept of default browser obsolete does

Hi fellow nerds. Linklever is a local and offline browser launcher. If you're often copy-pasting URLs between browsers, then Linklever might be for you. It registers as your system's default browser. In the app, you configure rules and filters. Later, when you click a link outside of a browser, the rules determine which browser Linklever sends the link to. The filters transform the URL before sending it to the browser. For routing links between browsers, there are Firefox and Chrome extensions. Browser launchers are no new concept; AlternativeTo lists 17 others, but so far Linklever is the…

    Hi HN! My name is David ([email protected]) and I am the author of Linkidex (www.linkidex.com)! My goal is to make bookmarks better. I built Linkidex because I was getting overwhelmed by the number of things I had to keep track of on the internet during my day to day job. Constantly needing to re-find various wikis or jira epics or project proposals or whatever was eating into my day. I was using a chrome extension to manage urls, but the extension was getting unwieldy as my list of “important URLs” grew and I started looking for alternatives. There are a few really cool bookmark managers…

    I'm a consultant and I normally deal with multiple clients. I need an isolated browser for each to maintain my sanity. I could create separate profiles in Chrome and Firefox but the main issue is when you click on a link outside of the browser (e.g. in your IDE), in which profile should it be opened? I wrote a Python script that redirects URLs to the correct browser instance and set it as my default browser. Over time, the script has grown and become essential to my work. I cleaned it up and open-sourced it. Hope that someone else may find it useful too!

    Hey there HN! Meet Linkwarden, a fully self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages. Please also visit/star our GitHub repo [1]. Linkwarden was built using TypeScript and NextJS, backed by a PostgreSQL database for the lighter-weight data. The rest of the data can be chosen either to be stored on the filesystem, or stored on the cloud on Digital Ocean Space/AWS S3, the reason for the cloud storage solution was for the Cloud offering [2], we realized that the preserved webpages (archives) take up space pretty quickly and S3 was…
