vs code: How to set chrome as the default browser instead of Edge?












0















I'm trying to serve a React project live on chrome, but it always opens on Microsoft Edge.

Following some answers, I changed the settings like so:



"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome"
"open-in-browser.default": "chrome"


But it still uses Edge.

Windows actively "protects" the default app settings from change by anything but the end user. Reference.




  • The end user will need to change the default browser or application for type .html files


  • or you will need to include instructions for the end user on how to do this.


  • or you will need to include a small stub program that calls the Chrome executable with the html file as an argument, to launch the program.
