I support this feature request. For example, I get emails every day from several vendors. I don't want to go through URLchecker when I open the links in the email, just go straight to the browser.

I imagine this could work like a pattern match in the hosts fille, or similar.

Version 3.0 is almost there with the "Automations" feature. While you might not be able to specify the browser, the app should remember the last browser used for each URL and automatically open it in that browser directly.

Example (Google)

1. Click any link that has the Google domain (ex: https://google.com)

2. Select the Browser you want it to use, I will use FireFox for this example.

3. Now go back to URLCheck

4. Click Automations and enable both options

5. Click Json editor
   (probably a good idea to read the instructions)

6. Paste the code below inside it, replacing all the content:
   ("Unshort bit.ly" is the default example that is already in the file, I just added a new entry with my Google example)

{
  "Unshort bit.ly": {
    "regex": "https?:\/\/bit\\.ly\/.*",
    "action": "unshort",
    "enabled": false
  },
  "Google": {
    "regex": "https?:\/\/(www\\.)?google\\.com.*",
    "action": "open",
    "enabled": true
  }
}

7. Save

8. Click on any link from Google's domain.
   (it should open it directly in the browser you selected in step 2.)

I would love if we could actually define the browser/app that will be used to open the matched regex.

Also, it would be nice to allow an array/list in the regex, like:

    "regex": [
        "https?:\/\/(www\\.)?site1\\.com.*", 
        "https?:\/\/(www\\.)?site2\\.com.*"
    ],

I understand you can adapt the regex to archive something similar, but things gets ugly pretty fast.

I would love if we could actually define the browser/app that will be used to open the matched regex.

I expect to add this for the next version. I didn't add it at the first iteration because I wanted to start simple (and avoid taking several more months!). This way you can also provide feedback and I can adapt.

Also, it would be nice to allow an array/list in the regex, like:

With regex you can easily have this by just concatenating with | like "https?:\/\/(www\\.)?site1\\.com.*|https?:\/\/(www\\.)?site2\\.com.*", or even extract the common parts "https?:\/\/(www\\.)?(site1\\.com|site2\\.com).*" but I think Pablo is going to implement that soon, should be easy and will make it more explicit

I must say I find funny the coincidence. With a difference of just one day, the same feature, asked for similar reasons and using the same format, tucked away after a separator line.

Anyway, there is the PR.
