Browser Extension
The Linklever browser extension is a companion to the desktop app. It lets your browser ask Linklever which browser should open a link, without ever leaving your current browser to find out.
The extension is available for:
Install
- Install the Linklever desktop app first. See Install.
- Install the extension from the link above for your browser.
- In the desktop app, open
Settingsand turn onBrowser Plugins. This lets the extension talk to Linklever.
Use
The extension gives you three ways to send links to Linklever.
Right-click
Right-click any link and choose Open in Linklever. Linklever applies your rules and filters, then opens the link in the right browser.
Popup
Click the Linklever icon in your browser toolbar to open the popup. Paste a URL and click Go. The popup also shows whether the extension is connected to the Linklever desktop app.
Auto-route
Check Open matching links in Linklever in the popup or options page. With auto-route on, every link you click in this browser is checked against your rules. If a rule sends the link to a different browser, Linklever opens it there. If the rule targets the current browser, or no rule matches, the link loads normally in your current tab.
Auto-route needs the webNavigation and tabs permissions. The browser only prompts you to grant them when you turn auto-route on, and you can revoke them at any time by turning auto-route off.
This browser is
In the options page, set This browser is to whichever browser you are configuring (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and so on). Linklever uses this to avoid sending a link back to the same browser it came from. The extension tries to detect this automatically the first time you install it; correct it if the detection looks wrong.
Privacy
The extension does not send any data to Linklever or any third party over the internet. It sends the URLs of links you open through it to the Linklever desktop app running on your own computer, using the operating system’s native messaging channel.
