## Description

Looking for a way to use all those browsers available on Play Store? Or want to try different ones for a while? Or just want to have some extra piece of mind when opening unknown links? Then Browser Picker is exactly what you are looking for!<br><br>Recent versions of Android enforce you to choose a default web browser and would not show you an application picker when opening links from non-browser apps. However, this might not be very convenient in certain situations or for safety reasons. This application bridges this gap. By default it allows links or texts containing links being shared to it and it will show a convenient picker with the list of installed web browsers. It also can be registered as a default browser and every time you open a link you&#39;ll also be able to choose a specific browser yourself.<br><br>Whether you are a web developer, designer, security expert, quality assurance engineer or just a careful user - Browser Picker got you covered!<br><br>Features:<br>- No ads<br>- Extremely lightweight (less than 2 MB download and less than 4 MB on the device)<br>- Extensive customization &amp; tweaking capabilities<br>- Open source (link in the app)<br>- Dark mode support<br>- Support for the latest Android versions and modern Android edge-to-edge UI
