It's about time this app was made! Now there's two. I've tried both Highbrow and Choosy and between the two, Choosy has a nicer config/preferences and lets you toggle browsers in a list, but misses points on squished/cutoff icons and inability to change transparency. Highbrow has a better overall implementation albeit with some bugs. I'd definitely pay for this one.
I like how even if you quit Highbrow, it launches when you click links. Maybe include an option to add Highbrow to startup items? A prefpane or collecting all the options into a robust preferences menu would be absolutely killer.
Please add/fix:
- Popup bezel doesn't resize to fit long list of browsers/SSBs on smaller screens--maybe emulate folder stacks in the dock.
- Press ESC to make bezel disappear
- Select browser based on url/string
- Manually add browsers (perhaps from list of webkit enabled apps)
- Type browser name to highlight browser in popup bezel (works in menu)
- When launching browsers that restore last session, the new url overtakes the old url in a window/tab that hasn't finished loading -- please fix to open url in new window/tab (chooser has this problem too).
