About this app

A share-only utility that lets you open URLs in "your favorite browser" or "another app".Links you find in YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), or other apps can be sent to a different browser or app with a single tap.
---
## Main Features
* Force-open shared URLs in a browser
When you "Share" text containing a URL, this app receives it
and reliably opens it in the browser or app you specify.
YouTube app -> Browser
X app -> Browser
Google services -> Another browser
Video links -> Video player app
It smoothly "bridges" between apps.
---
* Easy browser switching
Since this app is also registered as a browser, if you set it as your default browser,
you can switch the destination browser anytime.
---
* Remember which browser opens each URL (exact match)
You can register rules like "open this URL with this browser".
Stored by exact domain match
Add from the settings screen
Can also be added from the checkbox shown when sharing
Once learned, the same browser is automatically selected next time.
---
* Show a selection screen when multiple URLs exist
If the shared text contains multiple links,
a screen will appear letting you choose which URL to open.
---
* Opening the app itself leads to the settings screen
Because this is a share-only app, launching it from the app menu opens the settings screen.
If you set your preferred browsers in advance,
a one-tap flow of Share -> browser launches immediately is also possible.
---
## Useful In These Situations
When you want to open Google sites in a different browser on purpose
When you want to open YouTube links in a browser
When you want to read X links in another browser
When you want to open video links in a video player app
When you want to bridge third-party apps and official services
When you want to open in your familiar browser instead of an in-app browser
Rather than "just sharing to another browser",
it's a "bridge tool" that makes cooperation between apps comfortable.
---
## Notes
Depending on browser behavior, the browser may close immediately during a redirect (by design).

## Bug Reports and Requests
If sharing does not work well,
please contact me by email or Twitter: @hima_kazami.
I will respond as much as possible.

Ratings and reviews

Irreplaceable app, giving me ultimate flexibility as to which browser to use, each time I select a browser link. Most of the time I'm choosing a browser that's set to reject all cookies, and close with no history. But sometimes I select another browser, so I can log in and set cookies. This gem is indispensible.

It works as it should - a simple app, which 't diminish it's value=usefulness. The description left me asking, if I have multiple URL's selected, will it open all or first? Also, some nasty apps add promotional "illegal" text before our after the URL; can this scan the URL's and ditch the rest? Adding this would win over others I've tried and reach the glamoured 5 stars!! Regular expressions are your friend in this!

Great app. It'd be better if it could be configured for the preferred browser based on the website URL address. Edit: Perfect! My go-to app on all my Android devices. Thank you author!

What’s new

6.0.4 -> 6.0.6
- Fixed a bug where it was matching address names included in query parameters (e.g., https://example.com/?ref=google.com) instead of hostnames, and also matching domains with subdomains (e.g., google.com.example.com).

- It is by design that the rule google.com matches both www.google.com and m.google.com.
- If a rule exists for example.google.com, the rule for example.google.com takes precedence over the rule for google.com.
