About

Switchyard puts you in control of where links open and what they open. Work links go to Chrome, personal links to Firefox. You decide the rules. Create rules using simple domain, keyword, wildcard, or regex matching. Combine conditions for precise control. Strip tracking parameters or redirect to privacy-friendly alternatives before links even open. Set it once and forget it. Browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome let you send the current page to any of your installed browsers.
