(Archived) HELP: Evernote doesn't use default browser

[Canuckx 0]

I'm looking to change the browser that Evernote uses to complete a search. I've set Chrome as the default browser. However, in Evernote when I right click on a word and click on "search with Google" it will open up a safari window. But if I click on a hyperlink in the same note it will open up a chrome tab. Bug or am I missing something?

I see the same behavior.

Clearly the EN Mac code has been hard-coded to use Safari, whereas it should use the user-selected default Browser.

i could be wrong, but i think this is a setting that is baked into osx. the same behavior occurs in other apps. i don't know if evernote can change it.

@GM, this topic is in the EN Mac forum, not the iOS forum.

sigh... are you trying to shush me again jm?

i am obviously talking about osx, as this function (to my knowledge, there is no mouse to right click on the ipad) does not exist in ios.

EDIT: i see now. i mistakenly said "baked into ios" when i meant to say "osx". my comment stands: i believe this may be something beyond evernote's control.

Looks like you are correct:

Right-click/Search Google ignores default web browser and opens in Safari
