You might be using different web browsers for daily internet use depending upon your own requirements. Firefox is extensible with add-ons, Google Chrome is fast and light weight, and Internet Explorer is by Default available in Windows. There is a possibility that you are using one browser as default and others are also residing. Some situations may arise that you might want to launch a link in other browser rather than default.

Instead copying this URL and then pasting it in the required browser, BrowserMaster lets you choose the browser to be launched for the specific link. All you need is

to click the URL and a splash screen will appear containing all the browsers installed. You will first highlight the browser by single click and another click will open the URL in the browser.

This is a recent beta release and some intuitive way for configuration this is missing. By default, the splash screen appears for two second. You may want to increase this or exclude a browser from the screen. In order to perform this you have to follow these steps.

Go to Start>Run and type “cmd”. In the command prompt change your directory to the BrowserMaster’s installation directory by entering this command

cd X:\Program Files\MasterDevelopers\BrowserMaster

where X represents your windows installation drive (In my case, it is C)

Then execute this

browsermaster –d

It will create the default configuration file in X:\Documents and Settings\ABC\Application Data\BrowserMaster. (ABC is your username). Now open it with your favorite editor and it is pretty much simple

In 3^rd line you can disable the ShowGUI property by changing “true” to “false” and screen will not appear.

Next line lets you increase or decrease the time for which the screen appears. In my case it is 10 seconds. In the following lines there is specific configuration line for each browser which enables you to exclude a browser from screen by altering the “Enabled” property. In the example, I have disabled Opera and Safari by setting Enabled “false”.

It might take some time to configure the application but it is really handful for the users who need to use a browser other than default for some time. Obviously, if you only use single browser, you can avoid BrowserMaster.
