BrowserSelector --------------- Homepage: https://sourceforge.net/projects/browserselector/ Description: BrowserSelector helps you to open URLs when you use more than one browser. It's a tiny application has only one popup menu (see the screenshot) where you can select the browser for the current link. Set up BrowserSelector as the default web browser and enjoy! Requirements ------------ Theoretically BrowserSelector can run on any Linux or other UNIX system, but I tested it only on Ubuntu 12.04. (Windows support possible in the future.) BrowserSelector is a python application, so need python (2.7) for it and the following python mudules: * os * Tkinter * subprocess * argparse * pygtk * gtk * PIL On Ubuntu 12.04 the necessary packages are: * python2.7 * python-imaging * python-imaging-tk * python-gobject-2 * python-gtk2 Installation ------------ Copy the 'browserselector' file into the /usr/local/bin directory and the 'browserselector.conf' into the /etc/ dir. That's it. Then you can setup browserselector command as your default browser. Configuration ------------- There are some option, check the output of 'browserselector -h' for them. You can add/remove/configure your browsers via configuration files: system wide configuration: /etc/browserselector.conf user level configuration: ~/.config/browserselector/browserselector.conf Preselector feature ------------------- BrowserSelector is able to select browser automatically by an external script without user interaction (no popup menu in this case). For this feature you should define your own script as a 'preselector command' in the 'main' section like this: [main] preselector command = /home/you/bin/preselector.sh BrowserSelector will call this script when it starts and give the current URL as an argument: preselector.sh $URL The script output should be a name of the selected browser or nothing. (simple example is: preselector_example.sh) Known issues ------------ * No focus on the popup menu, so shortcut keys don't work * timeout doesn't work (menu still there till you press 'cancel')
