Add feature to reader browsers in selection menu #60

Problem description

I have set Settings > Browser Picker Mode > Always Ask. When I click a link it shows me a selection window with all my browsers and all their profiles. On this list the first browser has a lot of profiles, yet I don't use it that often. Thus I have to scroll through this list to select a different browser with just two profiles that I use 85% of the time.

Not a solution

These are not what I look for:

  1. "Hide this browser from the browser list" - this hides the browser with many profiles, yes, but I do rarely need so it must be available at certain times.
  2. Create rules - I know that this is the main feature of this app, yet knowing myself this won't really help as I really just want to select a specific browser for each link I click. So there's no point in spending way too much time on figuring out all the rules.
  3. Record number of click to order - this is a fancy feature of browser picker window but I'd rather set the order by hand instead of checking if one of many browsers switched places so I intuitively click on spot where it used to be.

Perfect solution (feature request)

Add a feature that let's users reorder browsers on the list which would be reflected in the browser selection menu. It could be placed right above the browsers' list, next to the show/hide hidden browsers icon. See mockup below.

or/and : allow to hide a specific profile. For example I do not care about private profiles, as a solution I edited the txt config file ... But it would be nice to have only a "hide" icon in the profile selection.

Hey, that's a cool idea. I think it would be nice to have some flexibility on how the profiles are displayed. Maybe some people prefer to see them in a natural way, while others want to sort them by popularity or customize them according to their preferences. And hiding the profiles could be useful too, if someone wants to keep their privacy. I'm glad you suggested that, it sounds like a good feature to add. I'll work on creating a separate configuration option for that.
