Use Finicky to direct urls to multiple Chrome profiles at workplace
Finicky is a macOS utility that allows you to configure rules for directing URLs to different web browsers or browser profiles. Using it to direct URLs to multiple Chrome profiles at the workplace can be useful for separating work-related browsing from personal activities or for managing different projects. With this optimal way, you can gain the benefit of not wasting your time to re-do actions to make it works well with your browser sessions.

Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default
I'm currently experimenting with "link eye" from FDroid on Android. There's also [finicky](https://github.com/johnste/finicky) for MacOS.

PSA: If you removed the old Discover button with --disable-features and it returned as the Bing logo, the feature name has changed
The workaround to disable Bing/Discover (msEdgeSidebarV2) on MacOS is to install finicky and set it as the default browser so it can launch Edge for you with customized arguments.

Have you tried making a different desktop entry/shortcut for each Firefox profile and then setting a browser picker as your default browser?

How to work with different browser profiles
Finicky will help you when you use different browsers, and/or different profiles. As a consultant I often use browser profiles to split my clients. I have a "Binx.io" profile for all Binx related work. For each client I have corresponding profiles. Let's call them "Client A" and "Client B".

Using Finicky to handle URLs
// See https://github.com/johnste/finicky module.exports = { defaultBrowser: "Vivaldi", handlers: [ { match: ({ opener }) => opener.bundleId === "org.whispersystems.signal-desktop", browser: { name: "Google Chrome", profile: "Profile 2" } }, { match: "open.spotify.com/*", browser: "Spotify" }, { match: [ /miro.com\/app\/board\//, ], browser: "com.electron.realtimeboard" }, { match: [ /zoom.us\/j\//, ], browser: "us.zoom.xos" }, { match: [ /https:\/\/atlassian.slack.com\/archives\//, ], browser: "Slack" }, { match: [ finicky.matchHostnames([ /abc.net.au$/, /news.com.au$/, /smh.com.au$/ ]), ], browser: { name: "Google Chrome", profile: "Profile 2" } } ] }

Changing default browser separately for every app
Might take a look at velja myself, but I’ve used Finicky until now. Pretty lightweight and free.

Bug Fixes or Alternatives?
I’m in a similar boat. Only one external monitor on an M1 Studio. Every time I restart, GeekTool cannot find the monitor, so I have to manually move all 10 of my geeklets to the main monitor. I looked into moving them via script, but was unsuccessful because the monitor id was inexplicably not identical on geektool’s side between launches (I gather this is a known issue from the developer). Sadly, I have been unable to find an app that sufficiently replicates GeekTools functionality. That being said, I have moved some of my scripts to SwiftBar where they are accessible via the menu bar instead of displayed on the desktop. Works fine for simple text stuff, but not my more graphical calendar. I’m saving this post though, because I still want a true fix/replacement for GeekTool.

Quick check of gateway metrics - MacOS only
As many of you, I obsess over the current metrics of my TMHI modem. Opening the app to check it is too cumbersome. On MacOS there is a cool free utility that allows simple scripts to run in the menu called SwiftBar (get it here: https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar )

Looking for an app that sits in the menu bar. When I click it, it pops up a window with my custom text and in my custom styling. Does this exist?
Maybe swiftbar?

Is there a way to turn the menu bar into one long scrolling stock ticker?
I am sure you could create a stock ticker with SwiftBar https://swiftbar.app. SwiftBar has plugins which write to the menubar using shell scripts. And there are already some stock ticker plugins - I am sure you could modify one of them to meet your needs.
