Browser Select Can't Find Portable Chrome Browser #60

Open excel4 opened 4 years ago

excel4 commented 4 years ago

I love browserselect and use it regularly! I use portable browsers so I can have more than one version and transfer between systems. I recently migrated from win7 to win10 and browserselect does not seem to find my portable chrome browser. I registered the portable chrome browser my default and that works. However, when I open browserselect it only sees firefox and edge. Is there some other configuration setting that must be set?

I have the same issue. I didnt expect that it finds my Portable Browsers but at least I would like to be able to add it manually.

Related to that, I would like to delete certain browsers from the browser select list because I will never use Internet Explorer.

Ah I found this workaround. https://gist.github.com/ckolumbus/225170d8af9eb10cc558ac061bdab799

Create this registry file and hit "refresh" in the BrowserSelect App

That worked - thanks much! I wasn't able to get it to recognize the -incognito option, but the program now opens other browsers.

FYI, I was able to remove a browser listing by unchecking the box in the browser refresh list.
