Safirechrome

[Acidham]

Safirechrome provides the ability to open an URL from current browser window in Safari, Chrome or Firefox. When URL is entered in Alfred Safirechrome uses the new URL.

Safirechrome provides the ability to open an URL from current browser window in Safari, Chrome,Firefox or Opera. Only installed browsers will be listed as target browser. 

 

Update v 1.2: 

1. Opera added
2. Only installed browsers will be listed
3. Ability to type and search for a target browser

Nice workflow, but one little problem: Safari opens always (with a blank tab), even when it´s not target or source browser.

[Acidham]

Oh wow, thx for the bug report! It seems that Safari will be opened wether applescript takes action on it or not. Fixed with version 1.3

I'm trying to edit it so it just goes back and forth between safari and chrome - no stop in an Alfred window looking for a return along the way.

 

Sadly I've got it down to 1 choice, but it still needs a return.

set query to "{query}" set xml to "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><items>" set browsers to {"Google Chrome"}
set browsersID to {"com.google.Chrome"} set listCount to 0 repeat with browser in browsers     set listCount to listCount + 1     set browserID to item listCount of browsersID    
    if checkApp(browserID) and (query is equal to "" or browser contains query) then         set xml to xml & "<item arg=\"" & browserID & "\" valid=\"yes\">
<title>" & browser & "</title>
<subtitle>Open URL in " & browser & "</subtitle>
<icon>" & browser & ".png</icon></item>"     end if end repeat set xml to xml & "</items>" return xml
on checkApp(theBundleId)         try         tell application "Finder" to get application file id theBundleId         return true     on error         return false     end try end checkApp

@Cameron B not sure if I understand on wha you try to achieve. tell me...

I want it to work like firechrome, but for Chrome and Safari.

If I'm in Safari, I want the hotkey to take me directly to the same page in Chrome.

Thanks for your help.

Then you're going about it the wrong way. You need a Run Script element instead of a Script Filter. If there's a Script Filter, Alfred will always appear.

 

If you create your Hotkey with these settings:

 

You can use this script in a Run Script action with Language = /usr/bin/osascript (JS):

ObjC.import('stdlib');

const browser = $.getenv('focusedapp'),
  safariId = 'com.apple.Safari',
  chromeId = 'com.google.Chrome';

console.log(`active app = ${browser}`);

var chrome = Application(chromeId),
  safari = Application(safariId);

chrome.includeStandardAdditions = true;
safari.includeStandardAdditions = true;

function run() {
  switch(browser) {
    case safariId:
      var url = safari.documents[0].url();
      chrome.openLocation(url);
      chrome.activate();
      break;
    case chromeId:
      var url = chrome.windows[0].activeTab.url();
      safari.openLocation(url);
      safari.activate();
      break;
    default:
      throw(new Error(`unsupported browser: ${browser}`));
  }
}

Is there any way to get this to work with Brave? I've tried modifying the script without any luck. (I have no idea what I'm doing)

If you mean the script I posted, change the line chromeId = 'com.google.Chrome'; to chromeId = 'com.brave.Browser';

I'm thinking about the original workflow. Do you know what I'd have to change to achieve that?

Thank you very much.

 

It's a bit glitchy when you're sending it to Brave when it's closed and it has to open the program. Sometimes Brave just starts up and is at a blank page. That might be a problem with Brave and not the workflow, I guess.

@friedmilk Seems yes, I played around yesterday with Brave but it seems that Brave is not handling `make new tab` properly. For other browsers it works but for Brave not.
