Mailto: Configration

Can someone please tell me how configure macOS 15 so that clicking on a mailto: link will be handled by Gmail within the Safari browser?

Thank you.

For Safari, I’m pretty sure you need to download a third party extension. Other browsers, including Firefox, have a dedicated Setting.

This app is the only way I can find to set an email handler within Safari:

Do you know of any other way to set an email handler for Safari?

I don’t necessarily have a problem using this app but I don’t want to overlook another app/extension/setting that might have any advantage over this app.

Thank you.

I purchased this app from the Mac App Store and installed it.

The configuration and testing instructions were very clear; the app works: mailto links open my Gmail account within the Safari browser.

I could NOT find another way to configure a mail handler to do this within either Safari or Mail. More specifically, I could NOT find alternative to using the app Open in Webmail.

Please post a reply if you know of another way to accomplish make mailto open Gmail within the Safari browser.

Thank you.
