  Quickly open the OpenIn App Selection dialog to send any link to another browser, profile, or application.</li><li><strong>Context-menu command</strong>
  “Open in OpenIn” appears when you right-click a link, letting you forward it directly without leaving the page.</li><li><strong>Automatic link overrides</strong>
