LinkUnbound puts itself between a link and your browsers, so every link opens where you
want it. It becomes the default handler for http and https, and when a link arrives it
asks which browser — or answers on its own, from a rule you taught it. Rules remember
the choices you make, by site, by profile or by the program the link came from. Work in
one browser and personal in another, without moving a default back and forth. Everything
stays on your machine: no account, no telemetry, no server.
