[Feature Request] Multiple Browsers w/ Web Search & URL Plugin #3076

Open cibere opened 6 days ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My feature is related to a frustration I have when trying to open a url from flow launcher in a specific browser profile. Basically, I have two firefox profiles that I use, but flow only works with one of them, so I have to constantly copy the url over to the other profile.

Describe the solution you'd like

One solution that I would be happy with is being able to give the web search and url plugins alternate browser configurations, and being able to choose which one to open a link in using the context menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I originally though about suggesting that this should be added to flow, giving alternate browsers in the settings under the current browser selector, but that seems like it would be harder to add because that would require changes to the flow api (since I believe there is a method to open a url in a browser). Though, this solution would probably be the best one overall, just probably harder to implement

Since this is a thing with mainly firefox, I thought about creating a Firefox Utilities plugin which would essentially implement the two plugins mentioned above but let people choose which profile to use, along with adding my Firefox Keyword Bookmarks plugin into it. Though others that use multiple browsers (ex: edge and chrome) might find usefulness if this was added directly into flow.

Additional context

I can't think of anything else to share

Off-topic FYI. For now you can check Browser Tamer ( GitHub Repo )

Hope it helps for now

Wow, that works really well, and should fix the frustration I'm having, thank you! I'll leave this open and let one of the team members decide if the feature is worth adding, or if people should use the 3rd party program instead
