If you use multiple email clients or need to open certain links in a specific web browser, then Bumpr is for you. Khoi Vinh explains how Bumpr was born out of a need that he and his co-creator Scott Ostler had.

Khoi reviews how it works, why it does not present any security risks, and why you may forget that you are using it.
