Browsers still shows uninstalled apps/profiles, even after a refresh

Describe the bug
I recently uninstalled Chrome from my system entirely. Browsers still detects and displays it after a refresh, and I'm not sure why. MacOS does prompt me with a "Allow Browsers to access data from other apps?" prompt which I always permit, but then Chrome is re-detected anyway.

I've hidden the profiles in the config for the meantime but am wondering why this is happening.

System:

  • OS: Sonoma 14.3
  • Browsers Version 0.5.1 (I know 0.5.2 is out but it's not yet showing up in Homebrew to install, if that version fixes this issue just let me know!)

Could you make a copy of ~/Library/Caches/software.Browsers/installed_browsers.json and then delete the original file.
What happens now when you run Browsers?

That fixed the issue with Chrome showing back up when it shouldn't, but now I have a new problem - Arc won't launch based on the rules defined in config.json. I tried removing the #Default from the profiles since you removed browser support in 0.5.2. This is a different problem, so I'll open a new issue.
