Why Glasswitch
Skip the trip to System Settings.
Changing your default browser on a Mac means a detour through System Settings. Glasswitch puts it where you already look.

5 steps- Open the Apple menu
- Choose System Settings
- Go to Desktop & Dock
- Scroll to Default web browser
- Pick a browser
Glasswitch
2 steps- Click the browser icon in the menu bar

macOS may ask you to confirm the change. That’s the system keeping you in control, and Glasswitch respects it.
Made for people who switch
One Mac. More than one browser.
If your day moves between browsers, your default should keep up.
Work and personal
Keep work accounts in one browser during the day, and switch to your personal browser in the evening.
Browser explorers
Trying Dia, Arc, or Firefox? Make it your default for a week, and switch back in a click if it isn’t for you.
Features
A small app, carefully made.
Everything you need to manage your default browser. Nothing you don’t.

The menu bar icon follows your default browser, so you know where links will open before you click.

Install and open
Get Glasswitch from the Mac App Store. Its icon appears in your menu bar and shows your current default browser.
Choose a browser
Click the icon and pick any compatible browser installed on your Mac.
Confirm if asked
If macOS asks you to confirm, approve the change. The checkmark moves to your new default.
Good to know: Glasswitch changes the macOS default browser. It doesn’t intercept links, send different websites to different browsers, or switch browser profiles.
Private by design.
Glasswitch works entirely on your Mac. It reads which browsers are installed and which one is the default. Nothing more.

Why does macOS ask me to confirm the change?
macOS protects the default browser setting and may ask you to confirm when an app changes it. The Mac App Store edition of Glasswitch uses Apple’s standard system flow, so the confirmation is expected.
Can Glasswitch open certain links in a specific browser?
No. Glasswitch changes the system default browser for ordinary web links. It doesn’t route links by website or app, and it doesn’t choose browser profiles.
Which browsers does it work with?
Any browser on your Mac that registers for both HTTP and HTTPS links, including Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Arc, and Dia. Just installed one? Choose Refresh in Settings.
