finicky VS mpv

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" } } ] }

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
