Show HN: I built a small utility that handles multiple browser instances for you

I'm a consultant and I normally deal with multiple clients. I need an isolated browser for each to maintain my sanity.

I could create separate profiles in Chrome and Firefox but the main issue is when you click on a link outside of the browser (e.g. in your IDE), in which profile should it be opened?

I wrote a Python script that redirects URLs to the correct browser instance and set it as my default browser. Over time, the script has grown and become essential to my work. I cleaned it up and open-sourced it. Hope that someone else may find it useful too!
