Stop copy‑pasting links between browsers
Open Every Link in
the Right Browser
Never switch browsers manually again. Default Tamer routes links where they belong based on the app or domain — automatically.
Install once, set as default browser, done. Takes under 3 minutes.
No More Copy‑Pasting Links Between Browsers
macOS only lets you use one default browser. That means Slack links open in Safari even if you always use Chrome for work. A Figma link from a teammate? Also Safari. You waste time copying URLs and pasting them into the right browser.
Without Default Tamer
- ✕ Every link opens in one browser
- ✕ Copy URL → open correct browser → paste
- ✕ Work and personal tabs mixed together
With Default Tamer
- ✓ Slack links → Chrome automatically
- ✓ github.com → Firefox automatically
- ✓ Everything else → your fallback browser
Windows users have had browser routing tools for years. macOS never had a great answer — until now. Default Tamer brings proper browser routing to the Mac: free, open source, and built for the way you actually work.
