Hi,

I use 1Password on my work computer where Firefox is the default browser in MacOS settings. But I want to open links in Brave browser when I click on Open and fill in an item on the 1Password desktop app. Can we please provide this override functionality?

Hi ​@ashish.mh,

I’d first like to note that you can use Open and Fill directly within the extension in Brave, so that the website opens within Brave, rather than the default browser on the device.

With that said, I can certainly see how being able to select the browser directly within the desktop app would be useful, and have forwarded this to our Product team as a feature request.

I’d definitely find this useful too. I often keep one browser as my macOS default but use another browser for specific work or privacy-related tasks. Having a browser override directly in 1Password would make Open & Fill much more flexible, without having to change the system-wide default just for 1Password. Even a simple “Open with…” option or a configurable preferred browser would be a great addition.
