BrowserBar

Changing your default browser on macOS means digging through System Settings and confirming a "Use X / Keep Y" dialog every single time. BrowserBar turns that into one click.

What it does

• Lives in your menu bar — no Dock icon, no background service
• Lists your installed browsers; pick one and that's where links open
• After a one-time setup, switching is prompt-free: BrowserBar becomes the handler for web links and forwards each one to the browser you picked, so macOS never asks again

Who it's for People who bounce between browsers during the day: Chrome for work, Safari for personal stuff, Firefox or another engine when testing. If you just want to flip the default fast. Not build URL routing rules. This is the whole job.

Native, and honest about it

• Universal binary (Intel and Apple Silicon)
• No Full Disk Access, no Accessibility permission. The only system prompt is macOS's one-time consent to set the link handler
• Requires macOS 26 or later
