I suggest you...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. context menu missing from Firefox extension version 2.0.1

    Was glad to see the new Firefox extension update since it hadn't been working before, but now I don't see the Open with Choosy menu option anywhere in the context menu when I right click on a link. Did that break in this version bump or am I doing something wrong?

  2. download manager integration?

    Is this possible atm?
    I've tried Advanced section with Download Shuttle, by setting rule if web address ends in zip or dmg or iso, but Safari just downloads the file and Choosy does not intercept and parse to Download Shuttle.

    Ideas?

  3. Support for Instapaper/other bookmarking services

    Could you add the option to send links to Instapaper and other similar bookmarking services? When we're in a browser, we can easily do that (especially with browser plugins) but this is not an option in non-browser apps. For example, it would be nice to open a link from my mail client and send it directly to Instapaper.

  4. Widen input field for rules

    The preference sheet for advanced rule editing allows itself to be resized, but the input field for "Web address contains" rule is fixed in size. It should resize in response to the sheet size.

  6. Choosy won't open links in Gmail to Docs, Forms, Sheets, etc...

    Choosy is great! The only problem I am having is with links to G-docs in Gmail. No matter what I try, I can't get Choosy to launch when I click on any link to any G-doc. It always opens in the browser I am using, or from an email client whichever browser has been defined as the system default.

  8. Make URL field wider in rule definition window

    When I define/edit a rule, for example "Web address" "matches this regular expression", input field for that URL expression is very narrow (from https?://gitlab.com/timbercode(/.*)? I see only https?://git).

    Even if I make window wider, input field is still narrow.

  9. Chooser doesn't work (missing web address) with Consequence of Sound links in Tweetbot

    BUG REPORT:

    With Tweetbot 3.3.3 and Choosy 2.1 under macOS 10.15.6, if I view a tweet from the @consequence account that contains a link and I try to click on that link, the Choosy browser chooser appears, but the link bar underneath is empty, and clicking on a browser doesn't work. (Nothing happens.)

    So far I am only able to reproduce it with links from that particular Twitter account, which are shortened with a custom scheme using the form

    http://cos.lv/xxxxx

    Something in this doesn't agree with Choosy's default behaviour.

    HOWEVER, if, instead of simply clicking on the link, I right-click…

  10. Set Airdrop as an destination

    It would be great if Choosy allows me to specify Airdrop as the destination instead of a particular browser.

    If open-in-background can be made to work reliably, it would be a great additional option for Advanced rules.

  13. Allow Apple News links to open in a browser instead of the Apple News app

    When clicking on an Apple News link in an OSX app such as Mail.app, it would be good if Choosy could intercept that link and open it in a browser instead of the Apple News app. While all Apple News links seem to start with https://apple.news/ a Choosy rule doesn't catch them as there seems to be some OS-level URL capture happening.

  14. Choosy 2.1 not working on macOS Mojave 10.4.6

    I love the idea of Choosy - but I can't quite get it to fully work :(

    What I'd like to happen is when I click on a link in Safari, the link gets opened directly in Firefox instead of as a new tab in Safari. The documentation suggests this is easy to accomplish, but no combination of settings that I've tried have worked (for any combination of browsers and rules). I've enabled the "Enable Choosy for links" option, and tried various flavors of rules, but nothing behaves differently.

    It's worth noting that other core features of Choosy are working…

  15. Expand the width of text field in Custom rules

    When you add/edit a custom rule to catch a web address containing a text, the text field has a fixed width which does not expand if the window is resized.

    For long texts, one sees only a tiny bit.

    Instead, the text field can just adjust to the window width to occupy as much space as possible.

    I guess this is just a simple fix in the interface builder.

  16. Modifier key selection appears to be broken in Catalina

    Attempting to set a custom modifier key and am unable to set it. This is using 2.1 on Catalina. Looks like it is keeping a default of ⌘-shift but you cannot change it.

  17. not

    It would be nice to negate a custom rule, e.g.

    If web address does NOT begins with... to avoid relying on regex for simple use cases.

  18. Support automatically sending pages to other browsers

    For example, if I open a page in one browser that should be opened in another browser, have it automatically send it to the other browser. For instance, if I type it in or if I copy a url into the url bar and press enter

  19. Bug: Since upgrading to MacOS 10.15.4 (19E266), Choosy displays available browsers rather than opening the browser specified in rules.

    Since upgrading to MacOS 10.15.4 (19E266), Choosy displays available browsers when clicking on a link, rather than opening the preferred browser specified in rules. These rules used to work just prior to upgrade.

  20. open link in current display for running browsers

    when I click a link in slack that is open on display2 (I have it set to prompt) and click a new browser, it opens on display2. but if I click an already running browser (chrome) it seems to always open the webpage on display1 (main display w/ dock) regardless of if the last active browser window was on display2. This causes me to have to click the link then having to drag the page from display1 to display2 every time. (licensed user v2.1, mojave 10.14.6, chrome+firefox+safari)
