Do you have a couple of browsers/profiles and tens of PWAs installed?
Are you tired of copy-pasting URLs from one browsers/profile to another?
Are you annoyed because a link opens in the default browsers instead of the PWA?
Fret not, ubm is here.
You configure ubm (which you will set as your default browser) with ubmctl by mapping domains/ips to browsers and corresponding profiles.
Your system will open all urls in ubm which will search through the configuration file and open the url based on the configuration provided.
This is still in beta, so please be patient
- If you are on Arch ,
urlbrowsermapperis available in the AUR
- Clone the repository and cd into it
git clone https://github.com/AlfredEVOL/browser-mapper.git
- Install it using make
make install
To uninstall
make uninstall
- To set ubm as the default browser
xdg-settings set default-web-browser UrlBrowserMapper.desktop`
- Once installed, configure the default browser with ubmctl
ubmctl --set-default <Browser> <Profile>
To find the browser profile see Browser Profiles
UrlBrowserMapper comes with the runner ubm and the configuration tool ubmctl. Run ubmctl -h to see all the options.
The configuration file is store in $HOME/.config/ubm/config.json. If ubmctl feels like a lot work, you can directly edit the config file.
Browser Profiles are handled differently by browsers.
- Go to
about:profilesto see the profiles
- Go to
chrome://versionand check the Profile Path section - The last part of the Profile Path will the profile name
- Enclose profile name with single quotes when using ubmctl
- When using ubmctl, use firefoxpwa as the browser name
- Go to $HOME/.local/share/applications
- The desktop entries of the pwa are there named as FFPWA-{a sequence of numbers and letters}
- Open them to see which app they belong.
- Use the sequence of numbers and letters as the profile name
UBM should support epiphany profiles though I haven't tested it yet
no support yet
