    My problem with that extension is the separate profile requirement (so new links can’t open in a specific profile), and some things (like Slack) don’t fully work outside Chromium.

    My solution works like this:

    • Slack open as PWA in Chromium in profile Work
    • Click link to http://that
    • Extension captures the request, cancels the new tab/window, sends the URL and profile name to a small service running on localhost
    • Service opens Firefox with same profile to URL

    The extension is set to skip this process if the base URL is the same as the current site (Slack.com/google.com/etc).
