Is it possible to configure the addon so that every link is opened in the destination browser. The reason for my request is that I use Whattsapp web as an "app" with edge but not dont want to use edge otherwise and when I click on links in WA i want them directly open in firefox.

I know your post is over 2 years old, but I found that reverse mode is excellent for this. Just put web.whatsapp.com in the list of domains, and then turn on "reverse mode". Maybe you have already moved on from Whatsapp Web to Whatsapp for Windows, so maybe this does not matter to you anymore, but thought I would post it in case others stumble upon this

I want all links to be open in target browser, except some of them. I thought perhaps the best way to do this is to enable Reverse Mode, then add URLs that I want to exclude. The problem is that some links will still open in the source browser even though they're not excluded. If you open a new tab in source browser and paste a link, it opens in source browser. I don't want this.

The only way that I found that somewhat works is to disable reverse mode, then use this in the comma-separated list of URLs:

*://*

By doing that, links that you open in a new tab will open in the target browser. But this means ALL links will do that and you can't use exceptions.

Furthermore, if you use Outlook 365, some of the links that you click on do NOT redirect to the target browser. For example, search for an email that contains a file attachment. Click on the link to the file and it'll open in the source browser. Some links like Sharepoint Online that you click on within an email will also be open in source browser.
