Trying to set Chrome as default browser. Keeps opening Firefox.

[ruthrusch]

Even though I set my default browser to Chrome, it continues to open Firefox instead. Here is what is in my View In Browser.sublime-settings file:
{
"selectedBrowser": "chrome"
}

Hi, I was having the same issue. You just need to use "open in browser" not "view in browser". When you right click on a document you can see both options.

So with my browser default set to chrome this works in ST3. If you want a hotkey i use this.

[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+c"], "command": "open_in_browser" },
]

I am running ST3 on Windows 10 and was experiencing the same problem.

I resolved it by doing following:

#1
Open:
Preference; Package Settings; View In Browser; Settings - User

#2
I cut and pasted following from the Settings - Default

{
"nt": {
"win32": {
"firefox": "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -new-tab",
"iexplore": "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe",
"chrome": "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe",
"canary": "C:\Users\sgx\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe",
"yandex": "%Local AppData%\Yandex\YandexBrowser\browser.exe"
}
},

"browser": "iexplore",
"browser": "chrome",
"browser": "canary"

}

#3
I made changes to paths for both chromes ( chrome & chrome canary )

#4
I added following lines for default used when : ctrl + alt + v

"browser": "iexplore",
"browser": "chrome",
"browser": "canary"

#5
If I type ctrl + Alt + v it goes to canary
If I type ctrl + Alt + c it goes to chrome
If I type ctrl + Alt + f it goes to firefox
If I type ctrl + Alt + I it goes to iexplore

I couldn't find the default windows key map file I suspect it's built into view-in-browser:

sublime-view-in-browser / Default (Windows).sublime-keymap

The above file contains following settings:

[
{ "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+v" ], "command": "view_in_browser" },
{ "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+f" ], "command": "view_in_browser", "args": { "browser": "firefox" } },
{ "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+c" ], "command": "view_in_browser", "args": { "browser": "chrome" } },
{ "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+i" ], "command": "view_in_browser", "args": { "browser": "iexplore" } },
{ "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+s" ], "command": "view_in_browser", "args": { "browser": "safari" } }
]

Make sure path to chrome listed is correct and actually goes to the correct folder that contains chrome.exe file

The simple answer is to set Preference > Package Settings > View In Browser > Settings - User to:

{
  "browser": "chrome"
}

now i set this for my CANARY chrome:
{ "nt": { "win32": { "canary": "C:/Users/{{ **NAME** }}/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome SxS/Application/chrome.exe" } }, "browser": "iexplore", "browser": "chrome", "browser": "canary", "browser": "chrome64", }
