Browser Tamer Help

Configuration

Default browser

By default, Browser Tamer takes the first browser it finds and opens all the links in it.

You can change the default browser by clicking the "heart" button on the tab of the profile you want to set as default. This will also be reflected in the browser list:

Default

Additionally, status bar will show the default browser:

Default sb

Custom arguments

Both user-defined and system (auto-detected) browsers have an additional argument added. This is "extra arg". Browser Tamer does not allow modifying arg to avoid breaking basic functionality.

Extra params

Bring your own browser

You can add your own browser definition by clicking the Add button above the browser list.

Addcustom button

Browser Tamer will ask you for the path to the browser executable, and then go to the customization screen.

Addcustom params

You can change display name, arguments, icon and whether to hide the UI when launching this "browser". The last option is useful if you want to add a custom script or application that does not have a UI, like in the example above, which simply launches powershell to execute a command to copy URL to clipboard. Without "hide user interface", a console window would be shown briefly.

Auditing

Browser Tamer can now optionally log rule hits to a .csv file. It can be enabled by checking the General -> Log clicks to hit_log.csv.

And the file path can be found in "File" menu.

The file itself has all the information about the rule hit event:

  • timestamp

  • browser id

  • browser name

  • profile name

  • URL

  • rule description

  • calling process name (if available)

  • calling process window title (if available)
