Profile Launcher

A Python Script for Effortless Browser Profile Management

⭐ About

This Python script allows you to quickly launch browser profiles without having to manually navigate through the browser's settings. It reads the profile information from each browser's config directory and presents them as options for launch. This can save you time and improve your workflow if you frequently switch between multiple profiles.

Example

{
  "name": "LibreWolf",
  "command": "librewolf",
  "path": "~/.librewolf/profiles.ini",
  "engine": "gecko",
  "enabled": true
