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

browservisual-studio-code

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.

Best Answer

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.
