Thanks for the positive feedback! What features of Browser Tamer have turned you away? I ask because I have thought about adding a UI since only a fraction of users may be comfortable editing an INI file setting up BrowseRouter the command line. I would keep the CLI around of course. |

I see aloneguid has replied on this thread and kind of covers my concerns -- I was not looking for a CPU, RAM and disk use monitor in an app which primarily runs in the background routing my browser requests. But that was okay until Windows Defender (or whatever MS calls it this month) flat out deleted Browser Tamer from my system as a virus during the night a few weeks ago. It had previously warned me about it, but I told it that BT was alright, and then it went and deleted it anyway. I was looking for something--anything--to serve the same simple purpose of launching different browsers and browser profiles by the URL without raising any fuss with anti-malware tools. I do love BT's interface for assigning URLs to different browsers and that BT auto-detects different browser profiles. I was able to get those working via manual editing in BrowseRouter's config file. |

Interesting development: @aloneguid open-sourced Browser Tamer yesterday. |

I read your blog post about your eponymous PUA. Seems pernicious to me. Open-sourcing may be the best move if you don't want to monetize it. |

No, I don't think of monetising in any way. Closed source was due to not wanting to deal with overhead of pull requests and questions. I already do feel like spending more time on community rather that enjoying implementing features. So nothing is perfect. |

I am glad to have found BrowseRouter. I'm enjoying it as Browser Tamer replacement. BT offers a user interface to manage which domains open to which browser, but it's starting to suffer feature creep and occasionally trips antivirus alerts. BrowseRouter is simple and does one thing well.
