Feature request: don't reuse a browser window, always open links in apps outside Edge in new window
- Aug 29, 2019
Mantvydas You should check out BrowseRouter. Which says, "In Windows, launch a different browser depending on the url." (I am not involved with this project except for being a fan. Although, I did do some mods to its predecessor BrowserSelector.)
I use BrowseRouter for this specific purpose - to open URL links in a new browser window. It also allows me to use different browsers based on what the URL is. For instance, open certain websites in Brave, Edge, Chrome, or Firefox, etc.
But the pertinent info here is that I can specify the `--new-window` argument in the BrowseRouter config.ini file:
[browsers]
edge = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --new-window
edge_private = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" -inprivate --new-window
Then down below in the file, tell it to open all links in edge:
[urls]
thepiratebay.org = edge_private
*.thepiratebay.org = edge_private
* = edge
Now, whenever a URL is opened (from outside of a browser) it gets opened in its own browser Window.
Good luck!
