DefaultLinker

Opens external links from installed Chrome apps in the default browser.

Installation

Either download native app and extension from releases page or build it yourself. Then:

1. Open Chrome chrome://extensions and drag and drop the extension zip file to install it. Note the generated extension id.

2. Register native app. Executing it with --install writes a manifest file to the correct location. On Windows it prints an additional command you need to run to register the manifest file in the registry.

   $ default_linker[.exe] --install <extension_id>
