Junction VS gnome-shell-extension-mpris-indicator-button

For Linux users, Junction is a FOSS browser picker that works just like Choosy does on macOS. These browser pickers are more flexible than selecting just one default browser, and being able to inspect URLs before opening them is a nice security feature.

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

- Junction (Linux browser picker): https://github.com/sonnyp/Junction

- Finicky (macOS browsee rule setter): https://github.com/johnste/finicky and Browserosaurus (macOS browser picker): https://github.com/will-stone/browserosaurus

- Hurl (Windows browser picker): https://github.com/U-C-S/Hurl

Thats correct as stated in the description of the repo: 'The script is a combination of the functions from Junction and Picker on Linux -- much like Choosy on Mac, or BrowseRouter on Win.'

- for opening files, I'm using junction for application chooser --bind 'ctrl-o:execute(flatpak run re.sonny.Junction {+})' Or xdg-open for opening default apps

There's this app that does exactly that Junction.

Mpris Indicator Button is pretty cool too, but seems to lack a hot key to display it.

I also use the mpris indicator extension myself and that particular dev uses Fedora (or sometimes Ubuntu), and they've said in the past they can't update the extension until Gnome 43 hits, so since Fedora is still delayed to mid-November, that extension won't be officially updated just yet. But if you check their GitHub they have a "crude" master update for Gnome 43 you can use if you really want to, but just know it's not release ready yet.

Extensions: Blur my Shell, Tray icons Reloaded, Clipboard indicator, GSconnect, MPRIS Indicator Button, Night Theme Switcher, Color Picker

There are at least two extensions which do that (for Gnome 40): MPRIS Indicator Button and Media Controls.

Since Waterfox is based on Firefox and the MPRIS implementation of the latter seems optimal I suppose something is "missing"(?) in Waterfox sourcecode, I use the "MPRIS Indicator Button" GNOME shell extension and it's always worked flawlessly with Firefox but it never did with Waterfox .
