Allows users to automatically open specific URLs in different browsers (e.g., open certain sites in Internet Explorer while browsing with Chrome), solving the need to manage multiple browsers for different web services.

1. User installs the BrowserSelector native app on Windows and configures URL-to-browser mapping rules in BrowserSelector.ini. 2. The extension is installed in Chrome. 3. On startup and periodically, the extension sends a 'C chrome' query via native messaging to the BrowserSelector host to fetch the current configuration. 4. When a user navigates to a URL, the extension checks if it matches any redirect pattern. 5. If a match is found for a different browser, the request is cancelled and the URL is sent to the native host, which launches the target browser with that URL. 6. The Chrome tab is closed or navigated back.

Target users: Windows users who need to use legacy browsers like IE alongside modern browsers / Enterprise users with mixed-browser requirements / Power users managing multiple browser profiles for different sites

The extension relies on an external native messaging host (BrowserSelector) installed on the user's machine. The analysis only covers the Chrome extension side, not the native app. Some configuration behavior depends on the native host's implementation.

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is entirely free with no paid features, subscription gates, or billing logic. The 'pro' keyword matches in static analysis are false positives (e.g., 'Promise', 'promisedLoaded'). No payment platforms or upgrade UI are present.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension does not implement any login UI, account creation, or authentication flow. It communicates with a local native messaging host (com.clear_code.browserselector_talk) to fetch configuration. No external service requires user credentials to function.
