Browser Select Changelog

What's new in Browser Select 1.4.1

Aug 25, 2019
  • Thanks to kthejoker BrowserSelect loads faster than ever. Also, I finally fixed #52.

New in Browser Select 1.4.0 (Jun 12, 2018)

  • After 8months since the issue about adding chrome profiles as options were made, they are finally added.

New in Browser Select 1.3.9 (Apr 6, 2018)

  • Fixed:
  • 1.When launching Firefox, if it isn't already running, holding Shift causes it to launch in Safe Mode. This makes it difficult for me to use BrowserSelect's "Shift-Click to open link in incognito/private mode" functionality with Firefox, as I have to already have Firefox open before I try to open something in Private Browsing mode, or else it pops up the 'do you want to start in safe mode' dialog box, and I either have to start in Safe+Private mode, or I have to close it, open Firefox, then Shift+Click my link again.
  • 2.You can open a URL in Microsoft Edge with private browsing/incognito mode from a command prompt by running start shell:AppsFolderMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge -private http://url.goes/here
  • So theoretically BrowserSelect should be able to open this repo's url in a private Edge window by executing
  • shell:AppsFolderMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge -private https://github.com/zumoshi/BrowserSelect

New in Browser Select 1.3.8 (Mar 9, 2018)

  • Fixes:
  • reported error "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  • Unhandled Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  • BrowserSelect crashes when 3CXPhone for Windows is installed

New in Browser Select 1.3.4 (Sep 5, 2016)

  • in this update, the algorithm behind the always button was completely remade from scratch and now handles things differently.
  • for one it no longer creates *.com.au rule for domains like news.com.au. also a new context menu is added that will show up when the algorithm cannot determine with certainty which pattern you want.
  • we also have a new update checker. if enabled through settings it will notify the user that an update is available.
  • another cool feature added this version is the ability to shift-click to open a URL in incognito mode. it doesn't yet work with the always button, (no rules to open URL's in incognito, yet!) but it works nicely in most major browsers for normal use.
