This software manages and organizes multiple web browsers on your Mac, ensuring that you easily access the browser of your choice.
As a software review, we want to express our experience with Highbrow, a Mac app that enables you to choose which browser to use with ease. The app solves the typical problem Mac users face when they can only use one browser at a time. For those of you who are familiar with Safari, you know once your Mac knows about it, it always uses it. However, with Highbrow, your Mac can remember which browser you're using and not just the one you previously set in Safari's preferences.
Installing and setting up Highbrow is effortless. Once you have it up and running, you have three different options to choose from that best fits your style. You can either have Highbrow ask which browser to use every time you click on a link, use the Most Recently Used Web Browser option or the Use My Preferred Web Browser option. This app is great because it allows you to pick the browser you want from the menubar, and your Mac will always use the browser you have selected.
If you choose to go with the Use My Preferred Web Browser option, your Mac will work similarly to how it did before you had Highbrow installed. The only difference is that now you can effortlessly change your preferred browser from the menubar; it's that convenient. If you prefer the app to get working for you, then you can select the Most Recently Used Web Browser option. With this option, whenever you switch from one browser to another, your Mac will use the newly selected browser to open links.
Finally, we have the Ask Me Which Browser to Use option, which allows you to choose between all the browsers available on your Mac when you click on a link. This option gives you control and flexibility when using different browsers as compared to the other two options, but you have to select a browser every time you want to open a link.
Overall, Highbrow is an excellent app for Mac users who prefer using different browsers. The app is simple to use and offers three separate behaviors tailored to your preferences. The best part about Highbrow is that it's a menubar app, so it doesn't take up any extra space on your screen, and you can quickly access it whenever you want to.
