# Browserosaurus

Browserosaurus is an open-source (GPLv3 license) browser prompter for macOS. It
works by setting itself as the default browser, and any clicked links in
non-browser apps are now sent to Browserosaurus where you are presented with a
menu of all your installed browsers. You may now decide which app you’d like to
continue opening the link with.

## Projects inspired by Browserosaurus

Browserosaurus is primarily made for my needs and environment. Therefore, some
feature requests do not make it into the main project, but that's the beauty of
Open Source, you are free to copy the code and make your own tweaks (as long as
it remains open-sourced, of course, please see the license 😉). Here are some
