Open Link With: Choose Your Apps

Browser extension allowing users to choose which application to open links with, adding a right-click menu option for seamless navigation

What is Open Link With?

Open Link With is a handy browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It solves the common problem of links opening in the default browser, when you may prefer them to open in a different application.

Once installed, Open Link With adds a context menu option when you right-click on a link. This menu allows you to choose which application to use for opening that link. For example, you could open a PDF link in your PDF reader instead of the browser, or a video link directly in your preferred media player.

The extension includes common applications like Acrobat, VLC, and Office suites by default. You can also customize which apps appear in the list. This makes it easy to always open links with your preferred tool.

Key features:

  • Simple right-click menu for choosing default app per link
  • Works across all major browsers - Chrome, Firefox, Edge
  • Configure custom app list for one-click opening
  • Lightweight extension with smooth performance

For those tired of links opening in unexpected applications, Open Link With takes the headache out of managing link behavior. It puts the control back in the user's hands.
