The OS is designed with the idea that once you choose your default browser, you can use it for everything. However, for many users, this is not the case. Whether it’s separating work-related browsing from personal browsing, taking advantage of certain browser-specific features, or just personal preference, an easier way to open links in different browsers can be very useful.

trade is an impressive app that makes it easier to use multiple browsers on your Mac. It lets you switch your default browser with one click, select the correct browser when you click a URL, set rules, open links in its desktop app, and more.

Quickly change your default browser and get prompted when you click a link

Once installed, Velja is set as your default browser and will manage all links you click outside of the browser. You can find it in the menu bar, where you can easily switch to different main browsers with one click. You can also open clipboard URLs, which is helpful when accessing links from inside another browser.

You can set an alternate browser to use when pressing and holding Fn When clicking a link (if your keyboard doesn’t have the Fn key, you can use a different modifier).If you want to be prompted to select the browser to use every time, you can set quickly as your primary or alternative option. The app also supports browser profiles.

Configure rules and open links in the dedicated desktop app

If you frequently visit certain types of links, you can set up rules based on the content of their domains or URLs. Also, links clicked in some applications can be opened in specific browsers.

Services with dedicated desktop applications don’t always send browser links to the desktop, but open them in their web applications. Velja can force these to open in the desktop client.

Remove trackers and expand short URLs

Tracking parameters are usually attached to clickable links that serve a variety of purposes, but are generally used to track your browsing activity. This app helps you protect your privacy on the web by removing these parameters when opening or pasting links.

Many websites use URL shorteners, which mess up the matching rules set in Velja. Thankfully, the app can expand those links before opening them. All popular URL shorteners are supported, and you can also add your own.
