justforalfred Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 A few days ago, I inquired about setting different default actions for various apps(link: , and it's currently working well. However, I've encountered a new issue. I'd like to have different default actions based on different URLs. For example, when I open YouTube, I want Alfred to automatically input "ytb," which is my command for searching YouTube, so I can start searching directly. I suspect this can be achieved through automation, but my attempts haven't been successful. Can Alfred do this, and if so, how can I set it up?)

It would be both a colossal waste of resources running all the time on your system making everything slower for a slight pay off once in a while and unreliable. Use a Web Search instead.
