Choosy
Ok, so everyone has already posted about Choosy, but just in case you’re not subscribed to everyone else…
Choosy adds a preference pane to OS X that allows you to override the “Default Browser” setting on your Mac and lets you open links in whatever web browser you want. So, for example, if you have both Safari and Firefox open and someone sends you a link in an email, you can click on the link and Choosy will ask you which browser you want to use to view the link. If you didn’t have Choosy, the link would open in whichever browser you had set as the default.
I’m already finding this really handy, as my default browser is Safari but I use Firefox when I’m coding and testing sites. With Choosy, I can open all email links in Firefox so that I don’t have to keep switching browsers. And if Firefox is my only open browser, Choosy will display links in Firefox automatically without me having to choose. Awesome!
Choosy is currently in beta. The beta is free to download; the full version will be shareware with a discount for beta users who register their email on the Choosy site.
