Junction is a free and open source files and links application chooser. Set Junction as the default application for a resource and let it do the rest.
Most people probably have more than one browser installed on their computer(s). Or more than one app that can open ( to view or to view and edit ) image files. Maybe you’re clicking on a link inside a .pdf and it opens in your default browser just to realize you’d rather have it open in a secondary browser for whatever reason.
Of course you could copy the link ( either from the browsers address bar or right click on the link inside the pdf and copy it ) and then open the secondary browser and paste the link.
But wouldn’t it be nice if everytime you click on a link, a window would pop up allowing you to choose which browser you want to use to open the link?
This is exactly what Junction does. It’s a files and links application chooser. Basically, you only need to set Junction as the default application for a resource and it will pop up and offer multiple options to handle it.
