Bookmarklet idea

[petty]

I created this Bookmarklet, repeated in each browser I use as ...

Chrome (default profile):

Name: !Chrome
Address: javascript:var%20url=window.location.href;var%20op='?';if(window.location.search){op='&';}url=url+op+'finicky=chrome';url=url.replace(window.location.protocol,'finicky:');window.location.href=url;

Chrome (profile 1):

Name: !Chrome Profile 1 *
Address: javascript:var%20url=window.location.href;var%20op='?';if(window.location.search){op='&';}url=url+op+'finicky=chrome-profile-1';url=url.replace(window.location.protocol,'finicky:');window.location.href=url;

* Finicky supports opening Chrome + a specific Chrome user's profile

Brave:

Name: !Brave
Address: javascript:var%20url=window.location.href;var%20op='?';if(window.location.search){op='&';}url=url+op+'finicky=brave';url=url.replace(window.location.protocol,'finicky:');window.location.href=url;

Safari:

Name: !Safari
Address: javascript:var%20url=window.location.href;var%20op='?';if(window.location.search){op='&';}url=url+op+'finicky=safari';url=url.replace(window.location.protocol,'finicky:');window.location.href=url;

... then in my .finicky.js file:

    {
      match: ["**finicky=chrome"],
      browser: {
        "name": "Google Chrome",
        "profile": "Default"
      }
    },
    {
      match: ["**finicky=chrome-profile-1"],
      browser: {
        "name": "Google Chrome",
        "profile": "Profile 1"
      }
    },
    {
      match: ["**finicky=brave"],
      browser: "Brave Browser"
    },
    {
      match: ["**finicky=safari"],
      browser: "Safari"
    },

Each bookmarklet will convert the page's URL to open with Finicky & process your rules, allowing Finicky to open the URL in an alternate browser.

So https://github.com/johnste/finicky/ ...
... becomes: finicky://github.com/johnste/finicky/?finicky=brave or safari, etc.

This is in addition to other handlers for email, Slack & so on.

Also, if you wanted a single "Chooser" popup that presents a list of options you could use this for a single bookmarklet in all browsers:

javascript:var b=["chrome","chrome-profile-1","safari","firefox","brave"];var url=window.location.href;var w=window.open('','f','width=640,height=240,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,resizable=0');var p=w.document.body;p.innerHTML='<title>Choose a browser:</title>';url=url+(window.location.search?%27&%27:%27?%27)+%27finicky=%27;url=url.replace(window.location.protocol,%27finicky:%27);b.forEach(el=>{p.innerHTML+=%27<p><a style="font-family:arial;" href="%27+url+el+%27">%27+el+%27</a style=></p>%27});w.focus();

Note that you would want to update this part of the Bookmarklet for browsers you care about: var b=["chrome","chrome-bcg","safari","firefox","brave"]; & then update .finicky.js accordingly.

Great idea. I did this to make an "open in firefox" bookmark. Shame there's no way to tell Safari to always allow opening Finicky. EDIT: duh the option to Always Allow is right there. Oops. :)
