Installation

To install this workflow you just have to download and open the .alfredworkflow file from the latest release here. The Alfred website's Help section has more information about Workflows here. Workflows are a paid feature of Alfred which require the Alfred Powerpack.

Usage

The default shortcut is db and you can then pick a browser from the list of available options. macOS requires you to confirm the change in a pop up dialog. For example:

Support

If you have any questions or feature requests then please file an Issue on GitHub or reach out to me on Twitter, @w_morland.

Dependencies

To build the workflow locally from source you must run /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --target=./lib -r requirements.txt as the script expects the dependencies to be placed in a local folder.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
