The App Matcher is pretty powerful.

Is it possible to add "Default Browser" as a "tab action"?

Hi, there are some technical limitations in adding rules for opening the default browser. Sometimes the links are available when the initial open is fired and other times Wavebox needs to resolve a redirect chain meaning the actual link isn't available until a few network requests have completed. Because these network requests need to communicate with a server there may be instances where duplicate requests are made (one by Wavebox and one by the default browser), this may have unintended side-effects and so to prevent this Wavebox doesn't support creating specific rules targeting the default browser at the moment

This feature for me would be wonderful. I have to set all to default browser. It could be something like if there is no mach then open in default browser.
