Turnout vs Choosy

Choose Choosy if
- You want browser extensions that send the page you’re on to another browser.
- You want rules for private browsing windows.
Choose Turnout if
- You want to start free and only pay for more rules.
- Your links arrive wrapped by Slack, Google or Outlook SafeLinks and should still match your rules.
- You sign in to several Slack workspaces and want each sign-in in the matching Chrome profile.
- You want a link tester that explains which rule caught a link.
Switching from Choosy
Once Turnout is out, install it, choose it as your default browser when it asks, then recreate your Choosy rules in Settings › Rules. Turnout finds your browser profiles for you.
