Switchlet Review
When it comes to web browsers I tend to stick to just two at a time and I keep same two browsers for quite some time, sometimes it can take years before a better one comes along or they cease to be as useful, functional and practical as I need them to be.
Anyway, if you’re the kind of person who not only changes browsers often but find the need to switch your default browser every now and then, Switchlet is an applet that lets you do just that easily.
The default browser handles all the URL actions you perform on other apps, for example clicking a link in Mail or in a Twitter app, or anywhere else. While this applet doesn’t give you the ability to change the destination browser for a particular link, it’s one step towards that and saves you from having to copy and paste.
On launch, it automatically places itself on the menu bar and lists all the browser apps it finds on your hard drive. It seems like a handy little app.
The downside is if you’ve already got a highly populated menu bar, this adds yet another resident and you can’t command+drag it to reposition the icon.
Switchlet works in Mac OS X 10.6.
