Exactly the reason why I use https://choosy.app to always redirect everything Google Cloud to Chrome, but everything else to Firefox.

That way if I click on some random GCP link in Slack it opens the link in Chrome, but everything else stays in Firefox. I don't need ad blocking for GCP so that works fine.

Sucks, but better than using Chrome full time.

I need this for Android pretty badly. I currently just don't set a default, and often use urlcheck in the middle to edit the URL if necessary, then pick my browser. I would love an app that automated this after the first use. I've submitted feedback to multiple apps that are halfway there, but none have seemed interested in getting the rest of the way there. UrlCheck is currently the closest, it has single buttons to remove tracking parameters and paths like landing pages, and I think it remembers the browser based on domain, but it doesn't have a list of changeable per-domain settings, won't open it automatically, and doesn't show a launcher-style grid (it uses a scrolling list that has to be opened manually). Google doesn't make things easier either, since apps can no longer be inserted as a chooser, and setting a chooser app as default breaks things.

For various functionality, there's also NeoLinker, UntrackMe, Intent Intercept, unalix, LinkSheet, and Open Link With. I believe Lynket browser, which uses the custom tab protocol, also has some basic rules-based choosing but it only works with two browsers and the rules are based on the app making the request.

It looks like LinkSheet added many of the settings I'm looking for at some point, so I'll be trying that out.

That's a useful app for people who use different browsers for different tasks -thanks!

Other Chromium-based browsers don’t work?

That would at least save you from stuff like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17942252.

I haven't tried anything but Chrome/Chromium (nightly dev). Brave is my dedicated porn browser I won't use it for anything else.

Your loss. Chromium is the shittiest Chromium-based browser, basically anything else is better than the original.

Like most browsers, Brave can be used with multiple user profiles in parallel.

Wtf

I use BigQuery studio often in Firefox and haven’t noticed anything being worse than Chrome. What problems do you see?

I recently had cause to sign in to the Google Cloud console (not BigQuery specifically) and found it unusable on Firefox. It pegged a core at 100% and consumed memory at a prodigious rate. Basic UI actions were painfully slow.

I killed the tab and tried it in Chromium where the UI was... not snappy, but in range for my expectations of a heavyweight frontend.

Yeah, I use Chromium for anything Google made, and FF for everything else. Google makes sure that their pages work sloooowly on Firefox (e.g. Google Earth). No such problems elsewhere.

I use it all the time on multiple platforms and it is a DOG on anything but Chrome/Chromium. We have 30+ datasets each with many tables/views/functions etc tho so that could be part of the issue.

Same thing will happen in the billing portal or really any experience but I notice it the most in BQ.

Yes; the movie where running genuine Microsoft Windows is damn near a requirement if you want to interact with Windows applications.

Using Firefox and whatever for the Google cloud is kinda like running Windos applications in Wine or ReactOS.

> kinda like running Windos applications in Wine

Sometimes works better than on the original Windows? I assume that's not what you meant though :-)

I could have meant that. Doesn't Firefox sometimes work better than Chrome?

Oh yes, but Google products are notoriously worse on Firefox, if one is to believe the numerous comments on HN on the topic (although I haven't tried myself recently so I can't be quoted on this), and that interpretation doesn't sit well with your comment.

But you know better than anyone's else what you meant :-)
