What is Browser Tamer?
Do you have multiple browsers or browser profiles on your machine? Do you want to open different links with different browsers or profiles without switching manually? If yes, then you need Browser Tamer! Browser Tamer is a smart and powerful tool that acts as a browser proxy on your machine. It catches the links you click and redirects them to a browser or browser profile of your choice. You can set up rules based on the link’s domain, protocol, file extension and more.
Browser Tamer is so tiny that it fits in a floppy disk (remember those?) and runs on any device, even your grandma’s old PC. Browser Tamer is also completely free, so you don’t have to pay a dime for its amazing features. And best of all, Browser Tamer is eco-friendly and never uses more than 0% CPU or any CO2 (makes it good for the 🌎). It works on green energy and even recycles its own code. Plus, Browser Tamer does not track you or sell your data to anyone. It respects your privacy and lets you enjoy the internet without worries. So what are you waiting for? Download today and experience the difference!
Comments and Reviews
Very customizable and works well. I like the fact that it allows you to select different browser profiles from the browser picker window. The one complaint I have is that the browser picker window doesn't go away when the mouse is clicked on a different window. Some other browser pickers similar to this have that functionality. EDIT: I discovered a setting that allows the window to disappear when focus is lost.
Looks nice from the screenshots that is, looks pretty powerful too compared to some of the open source alternatives, but being picked up by various anti-virus scanners as being a trojan.
Edit: The developer has made this open source so this could be checked out, I'd probably feel more comfortable too to try it.
It's now open sourced
It's not picked up by major AVs anymore.
