Open Link for Chrome & Firefox
Open Link for Chrome & Firefox lets you choose where web links open on your Mac. It suits you if you use different browsers for work, personal browsing, or specific websites.

What you get
Open your links in the right browser or app.
You can stop sending every link to the same default browser. With Open Link for Chrome & Firefox, you choose an installed browser when you open a link, or set rules so work sites go to Chrome and personal sites go to Safari. Rules can use the website, a keyword, or the app the link came from, so you spend less time moving pages between browsers.
You also get cleaner links: tracking parameters and affiliate tags can be removed before a page opens, and you can copy a cleaned-up URL to share. Links for services such as Zoom, Slack, Figma, and Spotify can open in their own apps rather than browser tabs.
When you need a different destination, you can pick a browser with a number key or send a link from Safari to another browser. Your links are processed locally without an account. You need macOS 14 or later, and an in-app purchase is required to unlock the app.

Best for
- You use separate browsers for work and personal browsing

Skip it if
You probably don't need it if you use one browser for everything and don't need link cleanup or routing rules.
