Open in Chrome™ - A Firefox Add-on
Open in Chrome™ is a Firefox add-on allowing users to conveniently open any link in a Google Chrome browser directly from Firefox. After installing the add-on and connecting it with Chrome, users can right click on any link and choose to open it in Chrome, either in private or normal mode. Additionally, it captures links from any text content within the page. A separate patch for making the connection to Chrome is provided and needs to be installed from GitHub.
