Incredible extension, allowing me to set FF as my default, but sending every work-related sites to Chrome (to separate personal browsing vs. Chrome for work-only stuff)...

With the latest update, you can specify the Chrome profile to use (e.g. set the entry to "Profile 1" if the actual Chrome window's command line is '--profile-directory="Profile 1"')... Just remember to update to the newest/latest native application!

    It's not obvious but to configure the extension, you need to click the "Extensions" menu (jigsaw puzzle piece) on your toolbar, and click the OnChrome icon within there to set up the URL patterns.

    Perfect - like the author, I want to use Google Meet in Chrome but Firefox for everything else, and it does exactly what it says on the tin.

    I couldn't use brew to install the native extra application, but I installed in manually and everything worked fine.

    It's wonderful when people solve their own technical problems and then release the solutions for others to benefit from, thanks very much to Gervasio.

    I'm sure it works fine but I'm using Ungoogled Chromium and it didn't recognize it. (Yes I installed the additional required program.) I wish it was compatible with ALL Chromium-based browsers, and not just Chrome. For privacy reasons I don't want Chrome on my PC. That's the whole reason why I use Firefox to begin with.

    Works much better for me when compared to the alternatives. Anything and everything in the extension list is piped to chrome. This includes pages opened via bookmarks, the nav bar, etc. and is NOT limited to just link clicking. Now...How about a version for Edge? :) Thanks for the great work.

    Excellent! This is how an Addon should be - works like a charm, good documentation and all open source. Thank you! Solves my everyday issue when opening MS sharepoint links.

    Really happy with this - use it to force google meets to open in Chrome, and can then happily set my default browser to Firefox for everything else. Just want to say thank you to the author!

    Worked fine for the 1st day I used it then just stopped working? Don't know what caused it to stop working, but while it was working it was really useful

    Works great but the documentation on the search patterns takes some studying, it could benefit from a few quick examples.

    ah, that's great feedback... I just realize I only linked to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns on the extension, I should link to my site with clear examples.

    This is a life-saver for Chrome-only sites

    <3 thanks for the PR to add exclusions!

    It works nicely but the setup directions are the shittiest and all over the place.
    - Ignore the .zip/.tar on the github link, it's useless.
    - After installing the extension you have to find your way to the onchro.me/native-applications site to download the .dmg/.exe and run it.
    - Then a little icon appears on your navbar where you can set URL patterns. See the screenshot to the right for an example.

    This is EXCELLENT feedback. I wish I had read it 9 months ago. I've shipped v1.0 that makes installing it easier :) thanks!
