inchoate

Problem

When I click on links from Slack or Outlook on MacOS they open in seemingly random browser windows/profiles. This is annoying.

Solution

Open links in a particular google chrome profile window. Be less annoyed.

1. In Chrome, visit chrome://version and find the desired profile name. Mine was Default. Copy that profile's directory name, like Profile 2 or Default, not the profile's vanity name you see when you click on your profile icon in the browser.
2. Install Finicky: brew install finicky. After install it should be running and you should see the icon in the upper toolbar.
3. From the Finicky Toolbar Item, click > Config > Create New
4. Edit the new file ~/.finicky and make it look something like this, filling in your profile name:
