Dealing with multiple browsers in selenium

As technology grows we have to deal with multiple things. Things which are similar in behaviour and functioning but still different. One of the case comes up when we have to deal with multiple browser in selenium.

Here is the code snippet which can help you to initiate a browser seamlessly when added in project utility.

How to work with browsers other than default(Firefox) browser?

public static WebDriver getDriver() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
    OS = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase(); //Check for Operating system name
    WebDriver driver = ThreadDriver.get();
    String workingDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
    if (driver == null) //Check for default browser
    {
        if (browserType.equals("firefox")) {
            if (isWindows()) {
                //This will set the property in the OS/System you are working on					System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", workingDir + "//driver//geckodriver.exe");
            } else if (isMac()) {
                System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", workingDir + "//driver//geckodriver.exe");
            } else if (isLinux()) {
                //Setting capabilities to handle functioning like JS handling, alerts, certificates, etc 					System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/usr/bin/geckodriver");
            }
            DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
            capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
