Perfect for seasoned users and professionals looking for local easy and fast extending. Really relived me from stupid burden of copying links to terminal as arguments to script. (That was not the way, lol). This extension, this is the way! However I would not recommend this to my mother, configuring this extension requires a bit of computer knowledge and understanding of technical terms such as 'command' and 'argument' (although my mother is having argument with her computer at least once a week)

wow amazing, unlocks so much potential by directly connecting browser info to your local pc (like client to server) I just made a .bat file that downloads a YouTube video, generates subtitles and automatically opens the video with matchings subtitles in VLC player

it's not bad on 04.2025, given you order items (and keys) in export file and re-import! ))

Needed an extension like this to open my external Twitch.tv player. Works great, saved a lot of headache.

Great extension! The most flexible and protean of similar extensions, It is a user-friendly extension with a high degree of freedom that allows we to open any browser. ・Flexible and protean ・We can freely customize the extension icon. ・The lightest. It's a shame I haven't noticed the existence of this flexible extension until now. But why does right-clicking on the toolbar icon and then clicking on the title I named opens an empty page for "Undifined"?

Make more copies of the app and name them "External Application Button 1", "External Application Button 2" etc up to 10 or 20. someone made 10 extension separators, added between pinned extensions that way. I would like to open a link with vivaldi (or any other not listed browser) while also have a extension button for paint.net for quick editing
