finicky VS iina

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.

I'm currently experimenting with "link eye" from FDroid on Android. There's also [finicky](https://github.com/johnste/finicky) for MacOS.

Here's an open source solution. Set it up, forget about it. https://github.com/johnste/finicky

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.

If you're comfortable with a terminal/some coding, Finicky is the best one I've found - https://github.com/johnste/finicky

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

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".

// 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" } } ] }

9. IINA

While QuickTime Player is still supported, it's not in a good state imo. I've never found chapters to work, for example, and have had other issues like the app complaining about being "busy" when trying to trim a video. If you're willing to explore, I'd suggest trying out IINA instead. It doesn't support editing, but it's good at playing.

Well, there is not much for Mac, there is this https://iina.io

IINA - Price: Free Modern media player for macOS that supports almost all video and audio formats.

This has been my go to for years: https://iina.io/

IINA - media player.
