How can I hide unwanted "browsers" in v16?

[MTCoster]

Up to v15, I was able to hide any browsers I don't want to appear in the popup in the settings. However, I can't seem to find an option for this in v16!

For instance, Browserosaurus discovers Spotify and Zoom as browsers which may be very useful for some people! However, I so rarely click on links for those apps I just don't need them to appear in the list since the web UIs have links to open the native apps in those rare situations.

Covered in the release notes: https://github.com/will-stone/browserosaurus/releases/tag/v16.0.6

I like the simplicity of not needing to do this (and maintain the code for this) any more. Keep your less used apps at the bottom, voilà!

Hey, thanks for this really great app.

I also really like the proposed idea.
If I were to implement this feature, is there a chance that the pull request would be merged?

Hey @nicoblabla 👋 Thank you for the offer but I wouldn’t be adding this to the app. The best solution is no code at all: move your unused apps to the bottom and shrink the picker.

There are issues marked as “help wanted” if you’d like to contribute to the project.

Cheers 😄

The feature to "Drag to sort" the list of browsers is not easily discoverable. I was about to file a bug that browsers that I had assigned Keys to wasn't in the top of the list, only to find info about the ability to sort the browsers. Perhaps there could be instructions in settings Preferences -> Apps?

[will-stone]

Could do. A little note in there maybe. Give it a go @mikaelf, in a PR, and I'll happily review it.

You can always leave the fork open regardless of the review @nicoblabla @mikaelf
