Title: Chrome URL dragged to desktop becomes Firefox URL; how to keep Chrome
Post by: jonnyD on March 01, 2021, 11:32:15 PM

If I want to create a shortcut on my desktop by dragging from the lock icon in front of the URL onto my desktop in Chrome, the resultant icon shortcut launches in Firefox. How do I keep it in Chrome?

The shortcut runs in the default web browser for your operating system

To associate website shortcuts with Chrome, set Chrome as your default web browser in the OS

In Windows 10: Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Web Browser : Google Chrome

In MacOS: System Preferences > General > Default web browser : Google Chrome
