Hi @aloneguid

Please add the ability to silently ignore a request to open a browser.
It would be very useful to avoid the effects of certain annoying applications that open links without asking the user's permission.
These applications usually open links in the browser by default, although this is not always the case.

I believe that these unwanted attempts could be detected using two tools:

  1. a url pattern
  2. detecting the application that triggers the request

In most cases the first mechanism would be sufficient, but I imagine that the second could be useful in some circumstances as well.

For informational purposes only, I think it would be useful if you could activate some notification mechanism (toast message?) or loggin.

🙏 Thank you very much for sharing this useful application with the community.

Best regards,
Claudio

Thank you! ;) I'll add this to my roadmap. As a workaround right now, you can add a custom browser pointing to an .exe that does nothing, but that's not ideal.
