Select default browser Zotero uses to open web links

b0c5 · November 15, 2023

I think Zotero just uses the default browser at the OS level.
It would be nice if this was an option the user can customize.

In my case, I use Safari (default at OS level) and Chrome (which works better with Zotero Connector, library proxies, etc.). So I would like Zotero to use Chrome to open links, but I would like to still use Safari for other tasks so I would not like to set this at the OS level.

I haven't tested, but there seems to be a way to use some apps to configure this at the OS level:

Thanks for the links, so I see this setting has been requested a couple of times in the past. It seems the developers are unlikely to add it ... but not sure why?
