Wavebox works great as your default browser, however, if you use another browser as your default, you can configure Wavebox to send certain links to it.

You can send individual links to open in your default browser via the right-click menu. First, you need to enable this feature,

  1. Click on the settings cog in the bottom-left of the Wavebox window
  2. Search for Default browser options in context menus and turn this on

Now you can right-click on any link to open it in the default browser

You can configure Wavebox to send certain links to your default browser when holding one of the modifier keys on your keyboard (⇧ Shift, ⌥ Option, ⎇ Alt, ⌘ Command, ⌃ Control) whilst clicking. First, you need to enable this feature...

  1. Click on the settings cog in the bottom-left of the Wavebox window
  2. Search for Default browser modifier+click opener and turn this on
  3. Search settings for Link opening
  4. Under Shift/Option/Middle mouse+click, change the behavior to Open in the default browser

Sending new tabs to the default browser

?
This feature breaks some web specifications, so you may see some odd behaviour such as links failing to open, being signed out, or duplicated links opening on some sites. You can find some more information about these caveats here.

When a webpage asks for a new tab or window to be opened, Wavebox can pass this to the default browser. If you're happy with the caveats, here's how you can enable it

  1. Click on the settings cog in the bottom-left of the Wavebox window
  2. Search for Default browser link opener and turn this on

Once turned on, you can send all links to the default browser or just some on an individual app basis...

Send tabs from certain apps

  1. Right-click on the app in the sidebar/toolbar and go to App Settings
  2. Locate the Account & Behaviour section for the app
  3. Change the Opening new tabs option to the Default browser

Send all apps

  1. Click on the settings cog in the bottom-left of the Wavebox window
  2. Search for Opening links and change the option to Default browser

When sending links to the default browser, some sites can misinterpret this as the new tab being blocked, meaning some sites can behave in unexpected ways. There is some more information about the caveats of using the default browser opener here.
