# 2.3.2 Nicotine+ Settings: URL Catching

When some user gives an URL in Chat room or Private chat, Nicotine+ is able to open a browser and go to the given homepage.
This window allows you to choose which browser you want to use.
URL Catching only works in Chat room and Private chat, not in User info. Instead you can copy the URL given in User info by using CTRL + C and paste it in your favorite browser by using CTRL + V

## Enable URL catching

- default is checked

## Humanize slsk: // urls

- default is checked

## Protocols handlers

allows you to choose which handler suppose to handle which protocol

- default protocol is http
- default handler is firefox "%s" & (Linux)
- default handler is start firefox "%s" & (windows)

You can NEVER have twice the same protocol because of obvious reasons.

### Add new protocols & handler

- fill in field protocol your desired protocol
- fill in field handler your desired application
- click update

### Remove protocol & handler

- click on specifiec action, for example http mozilla "%s &
- click Remove

"http" is for webpages, "ftp" is for FTP servers, Depending on what kind of protocol you and your buddies use all the time you can add new protocols.
