Force URL link to open with a specific browser

There's now a free and portable (Linux, Mac & Windows) way to do this across all major browsers and most importantly, BETWEEN browsers.

For example, I use Opera for a few pinned communication tabs: Gmail, G Calendar, WhatApp, etc... I use Firefox for everything else, and Chrome for a few sites that just never work in Firefox.

Andy Portman's open source "Open In" extensions solve this for every major browser.

Step 2: Native Client (to enable your browser to open other browsers)

Grab the Linux, Mac or Windows client for your platform and install it

Step 3: Customize the rules to decide when the browser your using should direct requests to another browser.

For Firefox "Open in Chrome" I just set:

For Firefox "Open in Opera" I set:

enter image description here

For Opera "Open in Firefox" I set:

Note that I also set "Reverse Mode" here so the domains that I don't specify will automatically be redirected to Firefox.

DONE

Enjoy using the browser you want on the site you want.
