winget install --id=DamianH.BrowserWrangler -e Browser Wrangler registers as a browser in Windows and routes clicked links to the browser and profile you choose, based on URL matching rules. Supports multiple browsers and profiles, a picker for ambiguous links, regex rules, and per-profile visibility. A .NET/WinUI 3 re-imagining of Browser Tamer.
Browser Wrangler registers itself as a browser on Windows, intercepts the links you click, and routes them to the right browser and profile based on rules you define — with an optional picker popup and toast notifications.
It is a .NET 10 / WinUI 3 fork of Browser Tamer by aloneguid, licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
winget install DamianH.BrowserWrangler
Or grab the installer / portable zip from the latest release (x64 and ARM64). Installs per-user — no admin required.
The installer registers Browser Wrangler as a browser and opens a short setup window afterwards. Windows only lets you pick the default browser, so that window has a button straight to the right page in Windows Settings and ticks itself off as soon as Windows reports the change. If you close it too early, the app shows the same steps the next time you open it, and the Health page has them permanently.
scope:domain|priority:2|github.com)substr|find|replace, rgx|find|replace)Toggle which browsers and profiles appear in the picker.
Drag to reorder — topmost matching rule wins. Test any URL against your rules.
Pops up when a URL matches multiple rules, no rules, or when you hold a hotkey.
Pick with the mouse, the number keys (1–9, 0 for the tenth entry), or the arrow keys plus Enter. Esc cancels.
Browser Wrangler can route links to Firefox Multi-Account Containers as profile targets.
This requires the Firefox extension Open external links in a container to be installed in Firefox.
Requires .NET SDK 10 on Windows.
dotnet build src\BrowserWrangler -p:Platform=x64
dotnet test tests\BrowserWrangler.Core.Tests
Run BrowserWrangler.exe with no arguments for the config UI; it re-registers
itself if the exe has moved, and shows the first-run setup window until Browser
Wrangler is the default browser. --first-run forces that window, --register
and --unregister are the silent installer hooks.

That opens a bug report with the app info (version, runtime, Windows build, config and log paths) already filled in — please add a screenshot if you can. Copy diagnostics puts the same block on the clipboard if you would rather paste it somewhere else.
The About page has a Check for updates button that compares your build against the latest published stable release. Automatic stable-update checks are enabled by default when the config app is open (you can turn them off in Settings), and optional installer auto-download still requires manual install confirmation.
