Finally, an Easier Way to Change Your Default Browser on Mac ...Middle East

Sindre Sorhus is a serial indie app developer that specializes in creating niche apps that solve a particularly nagging problem in an often seamless way. Default Browser is one of my favorites (and we've already talked about his other apps like Supercharge, Aiko, and Velja).

How to customize the Default Browser app

At it's core, it's really simple. You click on the Globe icon in the menu bar to open the Default Browser app, and click on one of the browsers to switch to it. By default, though, it's going to be empty, so let's start by customizing the app.

Once that's done, I would highly recommend creating a keyboard shortcut for the app using the Toggle menu option. I've personally set it to Command+Shift+D. Using the keyboard shortcut will bring up the Default Browser menu bar app even if you've hidden it using an app like Ice. Then, you can use a number to quickly switch to a new default browser (for me, I press the "2" key to switch to Firefox instantly, a browser I use for Lifehacker's CMS). This little change itself makes Default Browser really quick, simple, and easy to use.

But things get more interesting when you integrate Default Browser with Shortery. Shortery is a third-party app that brings automations to Shortcuts on the Mac. Default Browser integrates with Shortery via Shortcuts, letting you create automation workflows based on your browser usage. For example, you can create an automation that switches your default browser to Microsoft Edge when you open the Microsoft Teams app.

Focus, choose your Focus mode, and then scroll down to Focus Filter. Here, you can add a new filter that switches your default browser when you switch to a focus mode. If you use different focus modes for personal and work life, you can use this feature to tie them to separate browsers as well.

For more complex workflows, there's Velja

For most use cases, Default Browser is a great choice, especially when you enable automations and keyboard shortcuts. But if you have complex needs, check out the Velja app. It's from the same developer, and is kind of like Default Browser's big brother.

Here, you can set up rules that are specific to links from particular apps. Personally, I have a rule setup that automatically opens Google Meet links from WhatsApp in Google Chrome. My default browser is Safari, but Google Meet works best in Chrome, so when I go to open my weekly meditation community meetings, they now automatically open in Chrome, skipping the frustrating copy-and-paste dance every time. You can learn more about using Velja in our dedicated guide.
