MultiBrowser overview
MultiBrowser allows you to take control of the many browsers that you may have installed on your Mac. Whenever you click on a link in just about any application (e.g. Mail, Preview, etc), MultiBrowser will appear and allow you to choose which browser to open that link in. MultiBrowser's browser selection window is highly configurable allowing you to change its colors, size, and more so that you can decide exactly what it should look like. MultiBrowser uses built-in Mac OS X services so that it does not even have to be running until you actually click a link - this means that it will not waste any of your Mac's resources. MultiBrowser also has additional options for changing how browsers are launched, handling multiple monitors, and more. It has optional usage tracking (which will not be shared with anyone except yourself) to let know how many times you use each browser.

Still working on my Apple Silicon Mac running Ventura! The link here no longer works, but the software can still be downloaded from the Wayback Machine here:

MacOS now makes it quite challenging to install MultiBrowser, but it is still possible. You have to double-tap and select open to tell MacOS to open the unrecognized app. You have to do this first for the app, and then for the PrefPane (you have to first install the PrefPane, then find it's installed location and double-tap / open / approve from there. MacOS will put up resistance, but it is doable. And worth it! MultiBrowser is a fantastic free tool.
