What it does

Browser Tamer acts as a browser proxy on your machine that catches URLs you click and chooses an appropriate browser or browser profile based on simple rules.

Ultra-fast, tiny Windows and Linux utility to automatically open links in the right browser, profile, container, or mode (Incognito/Tor) using powerful rule-based redirection.

Looking for a way to automatically open links in the right browser or browser profile on Windows? Do you juggle Chrome , Firefox , Edge , Brave , private/incognito windows, work vs personal profiles, or Firefox Containers ? Browser Tamer is a super‑lightweight, open-source browser proxy / link router for Windows and since V6 for Linux, that intercepts clicked links and instantly redirects them to the correct browser, profile, container, mode, or even a totally different app—based on flexible rules you control. Configure redirection using URL domain, path, protocol, file extension, source window title/process, regular expressions, or even custom Lua scripting . Perfect for separating…from aloneguid.uk

    Hi HN, I'm excited to share my open source project, a browser orchestrator. It's purpose is to make it easy to manage many browser profiles on one system. Currently it only works on MacOS, but since I've built it using Tauri (which is a Rust backend and TypeScript frontend), I expect to add Linux and Windows support in the future. I've built it primarily for myself as I use a lot of browsers and having an easy way to manage all of my profiles would make (have made, actually) my dock less cluttered haha. Also, part of why I built it is because as someone who doesn't really care about…

  • History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
