## Description

Open Meet In... — Firefox / Zen Extension

A Firefox browser extension that automatically redirects Google Meet links to a browser of your choice — such as Helium, Zen, Arc, Brave, Chrome, or Safari. When you open any <code><a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a8994b92de2793ac86a7b02be4f7f74668a003c9d8828fa32b8b40ffad3e71b4/http%3A//meet.google.com" rel="nofollow">meet.google.com</a></code> link in Firefox, the extension intercepts it, opens the link in your selected browser, and closes the Firefox tab.

How It Works
<ol><li>The extension monitors navigation events for <code><a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a8994b92de2793ac86a7b02be4f7f74668a003c9d8828fa32b8b40ffad3e71b4/http%3A//meet.google.com" rel="nofollow">meet.google.com</a></code></li><li>When a Meet link is detected, it sends the URL to a native messaging host (a Python/Bash script)</li><li>The native host launches the URL using macOS <code>open -a "BrowserName" &lt;url&gt;</code></li><li>The extension closes the original tab</li></ol>
Requirements
<ul><li>macOS (not tested on Windows or Linux)</li><li>Firefox Browser</li><li>Python 3</li></ul>
