Open in Chrome™

Open links in Google Chrome

Open in Chrome™ - Your Bridge between Browsers

The Open in Chrome™ add-on for Firefox allows you to open any link directly in Google Chrome. After installation, you need to connect the add-on with the Chrome native application on your computer, a process that is detailed in our GitHub patch. This user-friendly tool enables seamless browsing, letting you right-click links to open them in Chrome's incognito or normal mode, while also capturing non-hyperlinked links from the page. Ensure you set the correct path for Chrome based on your OS in the options page for optimal functionality.

For any issues, please fill out the bug report form linked on the add-on's homepage. Enhance your web navigation today with Open in Chrome™!
