iApple Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi. Have powerpack but can't figure out how to setup a websearch with alternative browser. Safari is set as default browser but occasionally like to use brave browser to search. Is there a way? Thanks Link to comment
Missionary Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I just found it! Go to System Preferences > General > Default web browser > Choose the one you like. I am thinking it would be even better if we could specify which web search goes to which web browser. Edited February 28, 2021 by Missionary Link to comment
deanishe Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Generally speaking, no, you can't tell Alfred to use a different browser to your default one. Neither globally nor for specific features. You can specify a different browser in a workflow, so if there are just a few you want to open in Brave, you could recreate them in a workflow (it's only a Keyword plus an Open URL). Choosy might also be worth a look. You can set that as your default browser and have it send URLs to any browser you like according to your own rules.

Without ability to use alternative browser occasionally, your suggest does solve some of use cases I have. Cheers! Link to comment
