Choosy Help: Browser settings
This page describes the settings on Choosy's “Browsers” tab. To find these settings
open System Preferences, click on the Choosy icon and then click on the Browsers tab.
The settings on this tab allow you to control Choosy's browser list:
- Customise the list of browsers
- Reorder the list of browsers
Customise the list of browsers
Add browsers
You can add browser to the browser list in two ways:
-
Drag and drop a
.app
file from Finder.
-
Use the plus button below the list. This will pop up a menu allowing you to easily add
any browsers that OS X knows about, or to browse and select a
.app
file.
You can add any application to the browser list, but not all applications are able to open
HTML files or web links. If you add an application that isn't a browser it may
not function correctly.
Remove browsers
To remove a browser from the list:
- Click on the browser in the list.
- Click the minus button below the list.
Reorder the list of browsers
To change the order of the browser list, drag and drop the browsers into a different
order.
You should order your browser list with your favourite browser at the top of the list and
your least favourite at the bottom of the list. The order of the browsers in your browser
list effects Choosy's behaviour in various ways:
-
Behaviour settings that refer to the
“best” or “favourite” browser determine which browser is best
or favourite by looking at which browsers are higher up the list.
-
The row prompt uses the same order as the browser list. When you click on a link and
it triggers the row prompt the browser at the top of the list will be directly under
the mouse. The further down the list the browser is, the further you will have to
move the mouse to select that browser.
-
The circle prompt extends the button for the browser at the top of the browser list
into the centre of the circle, directly under the mouse.
