• Only reason I use Chromium is PWAs (Web Apps). Which is why I made an extension that opens links from Chromium in Firefox.

    Got Slack running in your work profile on Chromium? Opens links in Firefox work profile.

    I should probably release this.

        My problem with that extension is the separate profile requirement (so new links can’t open in a specific profile), and some things (like Slack) don’t fully work outside Chromium.

        My solution works like this:

        • Slack open as PWA in Chromium in profile Work
        • Click link to http://that
        • Extension captures the request, cancels the new tab/window, sends the URL and profile name to a small service running on localhost
        • Service opens Firefox with same profile to URL

        The extension is set to skip this process if the base URL is the same as the current site (Slack.com/google.com/etc).
