Erin B 2 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I've gone through the options and advanced options in the Evernote desktop app and cannot find a way to set the default browser for opening links. Currently, Evernote opens links in internet explorer. However I use Chrome on all my devices and have them all synced up and generally just prefer it over IE. I'm on a Dell Inspiron running Windows 10 home. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted July 12, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted July 12, 2019 I think that that's a Windows setting, and Evernote just uses it. Try going to Settings / Apps / Default Apps : Web Browser, and set it to Google Chrome. 2 Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 10,385 Posted July 12, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not helpful I know, but I'm also frequently on an Inspiron running W10 and it has no trouble opening notes in my default browser (varies between Brave and Firefox) or even occasionally in Evernote. There must be a setting somewhere... Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted July 12, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted July 12, 2019 I suppose what would be best would be to add "Open" and "Open With..." entries to the right-click menu for web URLs; the former would open the link in the default browser, and latter would allow the user to open it in a particular browser, and also make that the default action.

Erin B 2 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 It worked! I just got this laptop on Wednesday so she is brand spanking new and forgot to change my default browser to Chrome. IE and Microsoft edge are not doing it for me. Thank you for your help! 2 Link to comment
jeremydon 0 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I think that you need to change the Windows settings where you can choose the default browser to open apps. You can read how to do this here https://rocketfiles.com/. In general it is not hard to do but must help. Link to comment
