Rules

Rules tell Linklever which browser to open for any URL.

When opening a URL, Linklever starts at the top of the rule list. It moves down and selects the first matching rule. If there a multiple matches, it selects the first match. If there is no match, it selects the catch-all rule, which matches any URL.

Anatomy of a Rule

Each rule consists of a pattern, a browser, and a profile.
