Open links in the right browser

Work links in one browser and profile, private ones in another.

A link opens in the browser you choose — with a profile, if you like (Chrome — Work).

Where the choice comes from

Waypoint goes down this list and uses the first one set:

1. the link’s own choice (in the link editor),
2. its group’s choice (Edit group › Open links with),
3. the groups above it,
4. the default in Settings › Browsers,
5. your macOS default browser.

Each choice is an ordered list: if the first browser is not installed, the next one is used.

In a browser’s panel, a link without any choice opens right there in that browser.

Profiles

Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Helium) and Firefox-based ones (Firefox, Zen) open a named profile. Safari has no profiles to choose from.

Tab groups

Links you open from a group gather in a browser tab group with the group’s name and colour (the nearest of the browser’s nine). Open one link and the tab group appears; the next link from that group joins it. Sub-groups go into their parent’s tab group, and so do facet bundles.

• It works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Helium, Firefox and Zen. Safari opens plain tabs.
• From the browser panel and from the Mac window. Only tabs Waypoint opens are grouped — a link you open from mail or chat stays a plain tab.
• It is on for every group. Switch it off for a group in Edit group › Open in a browser tab group; a sub-group can switch it on again to get its own tab group.
• The setting is yours alone, also in a shared group.
