Copy link

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Finicky is only able to reroute links from non-browser apps before they reach a browser. Once you're in a browser, you're stuck.

Describe the solution you'd like
Redirect matching http:// & https:// to finicky:// and finickys:// - let browser decide how to handle non-matched URLs, let Finicky decide how to handle matched ones.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually copying/pasting the URL from one browser into the one I want to use was getting tedious, and updating all http(s) to finicky(s) was creating new tabs unnecessarily if the page was being routed back to the same browser. Instead, we should check matches onBeforeNavigation.

Additional context
I miss epichrome - those SSBs came with a helper extension to do exactly this: open matched URLs in the same browser/ssb, route other links to default browser. Finicky should already be doing this.

I just put together a browser extension that works in Chromium browsers that will intercept links that should go to other browsers and sends those to Finicky. It's not yet published in the Chrome Web Store, but you can run it by:

  • Cloning the repo to your machine
  • Opening extensions manager in your browser and enabling developer mode
  • Click "Load Unpacked" and choose the folder of the clones extension

It has a few shortcomings, the largest being that it has it's own copy of the finicky settings, so when you make changes to .finicky, you need to copy them into the extension. I
