<p>I prefer to keep Safari as my default browser. However, I often encounter cases where I need to load a URL in Chrome. I wrote a shortcut to do this via AppleScript connected to Shortcuts. </p>

<p>I've set the keyboard shortcut to be ✦C (Hyper C). I really like how Raycast has made enabling Hyperkey super easy by overloading the Capslock. Now, I don't need to run Karabiner / Hyperkey. </p>
