Hurl
A windows utility that lets you choose a browser on the click of a link
> This software is currently in pre-v1.0 version, which means it can frequently introduce breaking changes with new versions.
## Why and What?
Sometimes you might want to open a link in a browser of your choice, instead of the default one. Hurl can let you choose the browser eachtime you click a link (links outside of browser). So naturally, It acts as default browser to do that. And hurl can be powered up with a _browser extension_ to let you open a browser tab in different browser.
- Modern Windows UI with Multiple Customization Options
- Supports adding own browser config with Launch Arguments
- Rules to automatically open a browser without prompting
- Settings application to manage all the features (coming soon!)
- Web Extension to open browser tabs in Hurl (experimental)
> As a Web-Developer, Web-Surfer and someone who uses 3 browsers, Hurl is a bliss - Me probably
## Installation & Usage
Download Install the latest [.NET 8 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0) and Get the Hurl_Installer from [Releases](https://github.com/U-C-S/Hurl/releases/latest). Your PC's Anti-Virus might warn that it's not secure to download or install it, You can ignore it as the executables are Un-signed. Lastly, After installing, You might need to set Hurl as the default `http/https` protocol handler in the Windows Settings, just like how you change the default browser.
Check out [Extensions/README.md](./Extensions/README.md) for installing the Browser Extension.
