Smart Browse | Automatic Link Routing Tool for Windows | PowerDroid

Smart Browse by PowerDroid helps you automatically open every link in the correct browser and profile based on routing rules you create.

Instead of manually switching browsers, copying links, or selecting profiles every time, you can use Smart Browse to intelligently route URLs across work, personal, admin, and development workflows.

Perfect for users managing multiple browsers, profiles, environments, admin portals, and developer setups.

PowerDroid Smart Browse Tool


Why Smart Browse?

Windows always opens links using the default browser, which often creates unnecessary browser switching and profile conflicts throughout the day.

This commonly leads to:

  • Work links opening in personal profiles

  • Admin portals opening in the personal browser

  • Repeated copy-paste workflows

  • Constant manual browser switching

Smart Browse solves this by automatically routing links based on rules you configure once.


How Smart Browse Works

1️⃣ Set up PowerDroid Smart Browse as your default browser

Set the tool as your default browser once, and every link you click from the applications below is intercepted automatically.

  • Teams

  • Outlook

  • Slack

  • Other desktop applications


2️⃣ Create routing rules

Assign URL patterns and related domain groups to specific browsers and profiles.


3️⃣ Smart Browse matches every link automatically

Whenever you click or copy a URL, Smart Browse instantly checks your saved routing rules.


4️⃣ Open links in the correct browser and profile

Matching links automatically launch in the correct browser and profile without manual switching.


Core Smart Browse Features

Create URL Groups for Related Domains

Instead of creating separate rules for every domain, Smart Browse lets you group related domains into a single routing rule. Assign one browser profile, and all matching domains automatically follow the same routing behaviour.

Built-in templates include:

  • Microsoft 365 - admin.microsoft.com, azure.portal.com, outlook.office.com, etc.

  • Google Workspace - mail.google.com, drive.google.com, docs.google.com, etc.


Clipboard Monitoring

Smart Browse continuously monitors your clipboard for copied URLs and instantly checks them against your routing rules.

When a copied URL matches an existing rule, a Smart Browse pop-up appears, allowing you to open it in the correct browser & profile with a single click.

You can disable monitoring or pause it for 5, 15, 30 minutes, or 1 hour and resume it anytime.


Create Rules Instantly from Notifications

When Smart Browse detects a URL that doesn't match any existing rule, it displays a toast alert and automatically opens the link in your fallback browser. You can then create a routing rule directly from the notification:

  • Click Create Rule

  • Select the browser to open the URL

  • Choose the browser profile

  • Click ‘Add’ to save the rule


Rules Management

Manage routing behaviour through a centralized and organized rule management experience.

Features include:

  • Enable or disable rules anytime

  • Search and sort routing rules

  • Move rules between grouped and individual modes

  • Edit or delete rules easily


Detect Rule Conflicts Automatically

Smart Browse automatically identifies overlapping or conflicting routing rules before they cause unexpected behaviour.

When a conflict is detected, you can:

  • View the conflicting rule

  • Keep the existing rule or replace it

This helps prevent duplicate rules and ensures URLs are always routed as intended.


Longest-Match Priority Routing

When multiple rules match the same URL, Smart Browse uses the rule with the longest match.

For example,

The rule for admin.microsoft.com overrides the broader rule for microsoft.com when you open the Microsoft 365 admin center.
