Tim Sparkles		 en Works great. I wish that it required fewer clicks though. Currently I have to click the navbar icon, click the second menu item, then click a submenu item; or use the context menu, which also requires 3 clicks. Would be way better if * I could pick a default browser, and left-clicking the navbar icon once would launch it. * right clicking the navbar icon presented all enabled browsers in the top level menu. * the first navbar menu item was left out entirely, or moved to the bottom and renamed e.g. "View in store" just like the link in the Details pane in chrome://extensions/

Aki Ega (ABU)		 ja シンプルでいいですね 贅沢言えば各ブラウザのPATH指定をできれば、 ポータブル版ブラウザにも使えますね。 【追記】 レジストリをちょこっといじってポータブル版にも対応できました。 汎用的で完璧です。
