# Browserosaurus

Browserosaurus is an open-source (GPLv3 license), browser prompter for macOS. It

works by setting itself as the default browser; any clicked links in non-browser

apps are now sent to Browserosaurus where you are presented with a menu of all

your installed browsers. You may now decide which app you’d like to continue

opening the link with.



## Installation

Download Browserosaurus from the

[GitHub releases page](https://github.com/will-stone/browserosaurus/releases/latest).

Select **x64** for Intel machines, or **arm64** for Apple Silicon (M1) machines.

Or use [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/browserosaurus#default). Thank

you very much to [@i0ntempest](https://github.com/i0ntempest) and

[@tk4k](https://github.com/tk4k) for keeping this cask updated 🙏

```sh

brew install --cask browserosaurus

```

> 🚨 **Please note that Browserosaurus only officially supports the version of

> macOS that I currently use, which you can assume to be the latest stable

> version.**

## Notable Forks

Browserosaurus is primarily made for my needs and environment. Therefore, some

feature requests do not make it into the main project, but that's the beauty of

Open Source, you are free to copy the code and make your own tweaks (as long as

it remains open-sourced, of course, please see the license 😉). Here are some

forks of this project that you may like to consider:

- [Browseratops](https://github.com/riotrah/browseratops) by

  [@riotrah](https://github.com/riotrah). Browserosaurus but for **Windows**!

> Please PR your own fork to this list.
