choosy to select browsers

Choosy is at the same time a simple but excellent idea in order to offer an easy way to use more than one browser on your Mac. I find myself disoriented when I use Opera and Firefox (or Safari) at the same time because there are some essential features I love in each of them (currently I'm using Firefox just as a container for Feedly).

The main downside of using more than one browser is, for example, that you can accidentally click on links on one of them which leads to the opening of the default browser, not the one you are currently using. In MacOSX, the default browser can be specified under the general preferences within Safari and from then on, that browser will be the default choice for the system to open links.

The following video well explains how Choosy works. It's basically a software (it adds a new preference pane on MacOSX) which acts as the default browser, but you can make it perform as you like, for instance showing a menu where you can choose the browser you want to open at a certain time.
