preview short URLs
URL shortening services such as TinyURL and bit.ly are frequently used in Twitter and email, but their opacity encourages a lax attitude towards secure web browsing. Choosy could optionally pop up a small window that displays the actual URL to which the shortened URL refers. The user could then choose to continue to the URL or to cancel.
See Tweetie for an example implementation.

Support for multiple browser versions
I have Firefox 2, 3 and 3.5b4 installed for testing - they're each in my Applications folder as Firefox2.app, Firefox3.app, Firefox3.5b4.app - but Choosy only shows the latest version (3.5b4) in the browser list. Is it possible to make Choosy recognize multiple versions of a browser?
3 votesThis should work fine in version 0.9.3 or later. The browser list now stores the location of each browser app, prior to that it worked with bundle identifiers (e.g. org.mozilla.firefox) so two versions of the same app appeared to be the same thing.

simplify the menu bar icon
Although I really like the choosy logo when it's fairly large and in colour, it really doesn't work when compressed down to 16x16 in greyscale. It just looks like a random blob, which gives me a couple of seconds pause when I try to find it to modify a setting.
I'd suggest a smaller C with just the north/east/south/west arrows in a 2d style (but ... I am not a designer, so there's almost certainly a better idea ;).
3 votesAgreed, and forwarded to the icon designer this morning. Fast designer is fast:

Allow the browser selection to be Spaces aware
I'd love to be able to select my default browser based on the current space. This means i can use separate browsers in separate spaces for programming/work vs. personal/leisure.
It would be even better if I could set domains/regex patterns on a per space basis, allowing me to restrict the current space to certain domains and force me to focus on the job in hand!
75 votesThis issues seems to be resolved in macOS Catalina (fixed on the macOS side, rather than the Choosy side).

add Shiira to the browser list
It seems that I can't add a specific browser to the list, so I would like you to add Shiira to be recognized automatically.
2 votesIn version 0.9.2 the browser list can be manually edited, so you can add Shiira and any other applications that you require.

queue up multiple links
When multiple links are sent to Choosy before the user has a chance to respond, only the last link actually makes it to the browser.
(This effect can be replicated easily by running "open http://google.com/ http://yahoo.com/" in a Terminal window.)
7 votesThere are several ways to fix this one, feedback from the community would be welcome. When there are queued links is it preferable for Choosy to:
a. Pop up several prompts, one after another (this can be confusing, especially if the “show URL in browser prompt” option is disabled)
Pop up one prompt and use the selection for every link in the queue (which could be annoying if you wanted them to go to different browsers or it meant some of your advanced behaviour rules weren’t triggered)c. Apply advanced behaviour rules but avoid multiple prompts by attempting to select for you, i.e. if a queued link is about to trigger a prompt and the browser used for the first link appears in that prompt then just use that browser (which could be confusing and leave users wondering why Choosy just did what it did)

modifier pressed gets expected result
say i want to open something in Safari...instead of getting the pop up window of browsers if i press opt-click on link it would open in Safari or something like that...i know that some have many browsers to choose from so having that huge selection every time can be annoying...i only have 2 at the moment and it get to be a pain...so the option to open in desired browser with a modifier key included in the click would be great...
2 votesThe advanced behaviour rules system (in version 0.9.3) allows you to set up modifier keys.

stop cursor from dropping to screen bottom when invoked
Whenever Choosy is invoked, the cursor drops to bottom of screen. This means I need to move the cursor up-screen to select the browser I want to use to launch.
I am on a MacBook Pro with a dual monitor setup. So far, all clicks leading to Choosy have been from the primary screen. Anyone else seeing this bug.
9 votesThis only effects certain screen layouts. It is fixed and will be included in the next release.

Add the Ability to Open Links in Already Open Browser
I want the ability to set a browser to be used, but only if it is open. If not, go to the next in the list and so on until hitting one with a browser already open.
If I don't already have the primary browser open and I want to view a link, I don't want it to open all the other windows from the previous session, which it will by default, to just see the new link. Instead, it should fall to a browser which is already open if there is one.
6 votesYou probably want the “use best running browser” option. This will work it’s way down the browser list (top to bottom) and use the first running browser it finds. If this doesn’t provide what you need please elaborate in the comments, if not I’ll close this issue.

Make choosy appear in system preferences
I can't launch Choosy. It doesn't appear in System Preferences, and when I launch the file in the Finder it loads System Preferences, but no sign of Choosy.
This is a bug.

show the url at the bottom of the prompt.
This should allow me to have a last chance to not visit a site. This should help me to make better decisions about where to visit when clicking links in mail or similar apps which don't show where the link is going.

add option to open link/browser behind current application
Would like to be able to have the application I have engaged Choosy from remain active with the link/browser opening behind.

allow user to hit return to open default browser selection
When Choosy pops up I notice that I instinctively strike the return key to open Safari (the default selection), but of course nothing happens. It would be nice if it did.
16 votesThis bug was related to the mouse not being over a browser icon when the prompt appears, so no browser was getting selected. The bug fixes in version 0.9.2 should correct this issue.
