The use of tools like Finicky (https://github.com/johnste/finicky) have made it pretty easy for me segregate certain workloads to certain browsers (as long as the links are opened from outside of the current browser).

Safari is my daily driver, but I only take Google Meet meetings in Chrome and Teams meetings in Edge. I’ve also forced certain JIRA URLs to different browsers (Firefox or Edge, depending), because I have to be logged in as particular users for them.

I rarely use other browsers for anything else, but will occasionally test things in them—but using the separate browsers has been really good for segregating certain classes of work.

How do you invoke Finicky, then?


Finicky is set as your system default browser and opens the appropriate browser based on the URL.

I'm curious about the workflow. Finicky is set as the system default browser, and then how is that typically invoked when using Finicky? Spotlight? A custom app? Shell tool? etc.
