Setting Google Chrome as the permanent default Web browser

[Valtam]

This will open all webpages and html files with Chrome. If you want to set Chromium as your default web browser, replace each instance of google-chrome.desktop below with chromium-browser.desktop

1. Open your home folder, browse to /etc/gnome

2. Right click on defaults.list and Open as Administrator

3. Look for the lines:

Code:

application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop;
text/html=firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop;

and change to:

Code:

application/xhtml+xml=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop;
text/html=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop;

Save and close the file.
