Finicky now has support for launching specific Chrome and Brave profiles. Huge thanks to @bhedavivek for working on this!

New features

  • Chrome and Brave profile selection

You can now optionally specify a profile to activate when using Chrome or Brave browsers.

 {      
   match: "example.com/*",
   browser: { 
     name: "Google Chrome",
     profile: "Default", 
   },
 },
{      
   match: "example.org/*",
   browser: { 
     name: "Google Chrome",
     profile: "Profile 1", 
   },
 },

A note on profile names

The profile name you supply to Finicky must match the folder name of the profile. For Chrome, the folders are located at ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome. Folder names are called "Profile 1", "Profile 2", etc.

⚠️ Please note ⚠️ If you supply a folder name of a profile that does not exist, e.g. "Avocado", Chrome and Brave will create a new profile using that folder name. This appears to work pretty well, but I would advise against this since there is a risk corrupt your Chrome configuration. In the future, I want to add some verification to avoid this possibility, so it might stop working.

Bug fixes:

  • #122 The console doesn't display "fancy quotes" now. Thanks to @pichfl
