Browser Tamer is a free, open-source browser routing utility that automatically opens links in the appropriate browser, profile, or application. It supports Windows and Linux through a lightweight C++ implementation. Users can create rules based on URLs, domains, paths, application names, and window titles. Automatic browser detection identifies installed browsers and their profiles, including Firefox Containers. Advanced routing supports private browsing, custom applications, and frameless browser windows. URL processing tools unwrap shortened links, remove redirects, and apply substitutions. Lua scripting provides additional automation, while a pipeline debugger helps troubleshoot complex configurations. All processing happens locally without accounts or tracking.
