Open With Context Menu
-
Open the current URL in other installed browsers.
This is my customised context menu in Opera 12.18.
-
I support your request - I also miss the option.
Is there a workaround in the meantime? -
@mangold Not that I know of, apart from right-click, copy page address, then paste and go in another browser.
-
It would be good to be able to add custom commands as an alternative to just the other installed browsers. That way I could add Vivaldi itself, but with a command line argument to open in a different profile.
Also, ideally it would be a general command accessible in QC rather than just the context menu.
-
I liked that feature in the old Opera, mainly when the compatibility still is was a commom problem. To who works testing sites is nice.
-
I think, this topic becomes actual again.
There are still some sites where users might want to visit using Vivaldi's own user agent, rather than a Chrome one.
It will be good to find a solution for these needs. -
this potentially has way more usage than just opening in another web browser. you could also use it to open URLs in any arbitrary program with ease!
this would allow you to open up videos or images in external viewers or to pass the link to your desktop environment for it to decide how to open the link, for example.

I use AutoHotkey to open the page in Chrome ( CTRL + | ) , this is the code
^|:: send, {F8} Sleep,50 send ^c Sleep,50 Run , "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "%clipboard%" return

using your shell's environment is a pretty good idea actually! i hadn't thought of thatin linux land, you could use xbindkeys or your window manager \ desktop environment, but having the option in the browser is a bit more platform-independent. not everyone is going to have AHK or xbindkeys installed, and i can't even think of what a macOS equivalent is.
