Extension Usage Instructions
Version 0.3 now installs required VisualC++ runtime files which would cause the extension to fail if they were missing on the pc.
************************************
Version 0.2 corrects a problem with external applications that have a whitespace in their path. You need to update the helper application from within the preferences page as well!
************************************
This extension allows you to open a link or the current webpage in an external application, for example a download manager or another browser (like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Vivaldi, Opera, Otter Browser or any other).
External applications can be easily added from within the configuration page. A context menu with the available applications is available for every website, link, selected text or image.
NOTE: This program requires a small helper application in order to function. This can be "downloaded" from within the configuration page and must be installed before this extension will work. The helper application is currently only available for Microsoft Windows, but will be ported to Linux soon. Extension Basic Information
