Print Page - Google Chrome is not your default browser

Title: Google Chrome is not your default browser
Post by: vmclark on June 21, 2018, 06:20:54 AM

I checked settings, and this is what it shows

QuoteDefault browser
Make Google Chrome the default browser MAKE DEFAULT

and the odd thing is only Sparky shows the settings with a clickable icon on the far right that says "MAKE DEFAULT"
Here's a strange output from sparky:

Code Select

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
vim.desktop

and from Xubuntu:

Code Select

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
google-chrome.desktop

If you would like to set your favorite web browser as a default one, run:

Code Select

sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

Code Select

$ update-alternatives --get-selections
...
x-www-browser                  auto     /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

Whatever I did previously must have set chrome as default.
Thanks for reply.
