## Why and what?

Sometimes you might want to open a link in a browser of your choice, instead of the default one. Hurl lets you choose the browser each time you click a link (links outside of browsers). So naturally, it acts as default browser to do that.

- Modern Windows UI with multiple customization options
- Supports adding custom browser configuration with Launch Arguments
- Rules to automatically open a browser without prompting
- Settings application to manage all the features (beta)
- A Web Extension to open browser tabs in Hurl (experimental)

## Installation and usage

Download and install the latest versions of:

- [.NET 8 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0)
- [Windows App Runtime](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads)
- [Hurl_Installer](https://github.com/U-C-S/Hurl/releases/latest)

> [!TIP]
> It is recommended to uninstall your current version before installing a new version.

After installing, make sure to set Hurl as the default `http/https` protocol handler aka as the default browser in the Windows Settings. In Windows 11: **Settings** > **Apps** > **Default apps** > **Hurl** > **Set as default browser**.

Vist to [Docs](./Docs/README.md) for more details on usage and configuration.
See [Extensions readme](./Extensions/README.md) for installing the Browser Extension.
