👨‍💻 I use Google Chrome for work and dev, for its better dev tools; and Safari for personal use, for its better integration with the Apple ecosystem.

Finicky makes sure links in IMs (e.g. Slack) and email clients opens the right browser.

~/.finicky.js

module.exports = {
  defaultBrowser: 'Safari',
  handlers: [
    {
      match: finicky.matchHostnames([
        /\bgithub\.com$/, // Big PRs break Safari
        'localhost', // Chrome dev tool is better
        // ... other work and dev sites
      ]),
      browser: 'Google Chrome',
    },
  ],
}
